I saw it for a second but then the light was fading

Sister morphine was my lady in waiting

Can I help it if I can't help it now, all the stories I tell myself

What can I say to you all, it's fair to say, no words will do

All this time, time is speeding, it's hard to recognize the life we're leading

It's time to trip the light of the evening and go now

And in this land there's shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle

Cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it's each other we will miss

Oh the happiest moment of my life, was the saddest moment of my life

Was in prison when my daddy died

They didn't tell me for fear of suicide

Told me when I got outside, I started using as soon as I was alone that night

And I died and I went up straight to him

He said where you been, my troubled son

All this time, time is speeding, hard to recognize the life we're leaving

It's time to trip the light of the evening and go now

And in this land there's shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle

Cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it's each other we will miss

Oh the happiest moment of my life, was the saddest moment of my life

Oh my love can I just sit and hold your face. We finally made it here but now the light is low

All this time, time is speeding, hard to recognize the life we're leaving

It's time to trip the light of the evening and go now

And in this land there's shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle

Now I'm feeling kind of faint, I think I need to lay down

Oh you almost saved me

You almost saved me

You almost saved me now

All this time we pledge allegiance to the tune of a thousand treasons

One nation under something, under water, under mass incarceration

In the age of feast and famine can we disrupt the social canon

Let our children lead s’we all believe, let us see the forest for the trees
