tom macdonald - gravestones (album) lyrics

when someone makes a death+threat.
you expect a war.
and when that war never comes, you realize that those death threats were ghost stories.
but that’s not the end of the fight.
just because the soldiers never arrive in our borders, just because those men never came knocking in our doors doesn’t mean the fight is over. it means the fight never began.
and maybe the fight that never came is actually the fight that’s been raging all along.
inside each and every single one of us.
and maybe that fight doesn’t start in a battlefield and end in a graveyard.
maybe that fight starts in the graveyard and it’s not with an army or a militia or a battalion.
it’s not with men at all.
maybe that fight is with our demons and our pasts and our insecurities and our memories and our fears.
and the ghosts of who we used to be.
and maybe the only way to win that fight is to conquer ourselves, our ghosts.

so stand up.
stand up and fight!
it doesn’t matter if you win and it doesn’t matter if you lose
all that matters is you stand up and you fight
because the death threats may have been a ghost stories.
but all ghost stories leave gravestones.
