the bengsons - salt palace lyrics

Loading...

[jo, spoken]
until finally

[jo / reggie, spoken]
you reach
the center of the axis
(sung)
where everything is entirely still

[abigail, spoken]
time unfolds around us
an endless salt flat
i see shaun
his life stretched out from horizon to horizon
shaun at every age:
at five, at fifteen
at bible camp
as a toddler, riding a dog
in the diner booth, with me
shaun, we did it
and suspended all around me i see
all the moments of my life

[abigail, spoken]
i see myself in the moment before everything changed
i see my mother

[jo / reggie]
i see my mother

[abigail, spoken]
collapsed on the floor
too sick to move
and i see my father

[jo / reggie]
i see my father

[abigail, spoken]
and his madness
and i see the dead
i see the dead, i see my dead

so i look to the future
but i see my face become my mother’s

[all except abigail] [abigail, spoken}
as the storm comes
i see shaun fall
as the ice melts
collapsed on the floor
as the wars come
too sick to move
while we sleep
i see him mad
the march is over
i see him lost
the vigil ended
and i can’t stop it
the oceans rise
i can’t i can’t i can’t
and swallow deep

[all]
the world goes mad
and we go mad
and it’s too late now
it’s too late
and i see the ruins in front of me
all the beauty we were given
we didn’t stop it
we didn’t stop anything
we lose everything good

[abigail]
every fifteen-year-old girl
every family
every home

(drum cl!ck)
