Lose All Friends

Forever is not relative

So tell me again if you've ever lied to me

Life gathers sorrows

And sorrows gather in my head

And no one can die in vain

When no one is ever dead

And all that's been revealed is all I can know

And all I can really do is learn to let go

And nothing is earned when I'm not awake

And nothing is learned,

Even when nothing is gained

You calm the waters and you calm the waves

We calm our daughters and teach them to behave

It's a learning curve

Nothing I can do can change the circumstances

But in all of these advances

All I can do is effect the way that I cope

With all the ways this world has made me change

Because of all the things I've said that I regret

And all of God's children

Burn their skin under the same sun

And we slowly learn how to

Fall asleep when we're finally done

Because God let me fall in love

And I can hear her voice echoing back to me

"I'm such a failure"

Forever is not relative

So tell me again if you've ever lied to me
