lyrics

When her brother died my mother said
"Everyone's gone, I'm the only one left"
Frozen in place, curled up on the ground
Watching her branches of family burn down

I still think of Sarah trapped under the ice
I still think of Mark & the last time I cried
Angels asleep in emergency rooms
Like Roman soldiers at Jesus' tomb

There's always a consequence
By choice or by accident
When I meet myself
Will I know the difference
between oblivion & all that was left undone

We believe that our days will be full forever
We like to imagine we'll grow old together
When we close the door for the very last time
I'll be at your wake but you'll never see mine

We look for the lesson, we pray for the gift
We hold on to stories in order to live
There's only room for love in this world
When it's said & done
We're all amateurs

There always a consequence
Regardless of innocence
When I get to hell
Will I know the difference
between oblivion & all that was left undone

Grief knows no distance
