lyrics

What If. . .

Can you see the blooms you grow outside the window Joe?
As the flames put to shame lace drapes, keepsakes and family photos
Oh oh oh I wanna know what's behind those eyes
As they're stinging from the smoke
At the end of your rope, seventy years old
Retired police did you make peace with all
The demons you put to sleep

What if all that's left of god's his hangnail in the night
And our bones are all we own when we're surrendered to our shrines

Open mic on Tuesday night
Did Mrs. Walker notice she was short a kitchen steak knife
Nineteen years with a morbid agenda
Forfeit decades for some memorandum
Stabbed himself to death
all he could say was, "I'm sorry for the mess"
Hold the phone when someone screamed
She noticed that's not fake blood
That's in her coffee

What if all that's left of god's his hangnail in the night
And our bones are all we own when we're surrendered to our shrines

Siphon me out from inside
I am ready to be alive
These atoms that compose me
Are more potent than Nagasaki

What if all that's left of god's his hangnail in the night
And our bones are all we own when we're surrendered to our shrines
We are as invincible as deities when we're fully alive.
