the skies are shifting - gifts lyrics

Loading...

your hands meant to give life
they’ve withered away
they’ve withered away

can’t even place a flower at your grave
half a world away
half a world away

i gave you a piece of my soul last may
it died in your arms by your side that day
smoke pouring out of charred window frames
dawning realization it won’t be ok
worlds spin away
unfurling like acid inside of my brain
each grim detail
a knife in my heart
stomach in knots
what could have been torn apart

this couldn’t be real
this couldn’t be real
families grieving
silences speaking
the horror in your eyes
left in those alive
can’t stand the thought
can’t stand the thought
the days have since passed in a haze
endless maze
so helplessly alone
i saw hands clasped in the dark
it’s people shaped by your art

you taught me to live and to laugh and to love
but now that your gone
i’m the one who’s supposed to be strong
not for long i suspect
a fleck of of light beaming down
your promise this isn’t our last song

but your memory won’t be one of suffering
not when what you stood for was happiness in spite of loss
just how precious life is becomes so crystal clear that it cuts my heart
but that burning blood you nurtured in me flows down
takes root in the soil
to cherish each day ever more strongly
a legacy of love
a celebration of life

come spring, violet dreams, will bud a new
(this will not be the last time)
your memories lets write them down the pages blur but still resound
we have seen
in your gifts the best in us
the blessings you gave me
blessings you gave

we have seen
in your gifts the best in us
the blessings you gave me
blessing you gave
