lyrics

How do I write about heaven?
How do I write about the dead,
that quiet beautiful suitor
who invites you to his feather bed.
None of us can refuse him.
We all grow toward his sunlight,
run our fingers on his chain links
that mark the boundaries of life.

How do we end up on the wrong side of the knife?
We’ve only got one shot at this. We better get it right.
The junkie tearful saints have fled the monastery,
grave robbers running with more bones than we can carry.

It’s so hard. It’s so hard.
It’s too hard.

How do I write about heaven?
How do I write about the end?
The smoke after the flame.
The unknown road around the bend.

How do we end up on the wrong side of the knife?
We’ve only got one shot at this. We better get it right.
The junkie tearful saints have fled the monastery,
grave robbers running with more bones than we can carry.

It’s so hard. It’s so hard.
It’s too hard.
It’s so hard. It’s so hard.
It’s too hard.
