Two Small Deaths
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Two small deaths happened today
While I was at work
While I was at play
A vast light darkens my door
So I cannot cry
Now what is that for?
Is this the way my mind works?
Forwards, always onwards
Is this the way my brain waits?
Backwards, sideways
I've no heart strong and that's why
Sting to miss and to mourn
Love, wild at its path
Sing
I'm saving up all of my strength
For when I finally fail
At keeping you safe
When my last friend should leave me
It's alright, easy
