lyrics

deny my grace
still filled with burden
take these old hands
before they’re hurting
the daily aches
of getting old
trying to accomplish
before I’m cold
the toll is heavy
the toll is large
can’t be avoided
there’s no one else in charge
she says,
don’t you worry
this is only a start
and after all
we all fall apart

i hide my face
behind a curtain
it leaves a stain
of this I’m certain
hide the wrinkles
hide the grey
before my reflection
gives me away
the weight is heavy
the load is large
boat is off course
no ones in charge
she says,
don’t be afraid
I know you’re smart
and after all
we all fall part

so lift me up
quiet this mind
take what you want
we’ll leave the rest behind
there are no winners
we’re all last place
just a glimmer of a speck
on a dot in space
our worth is nothing
we are but dust
where did we go wrong
and lose the trust
she says,
nothings lost
it’s been there from the start
and after all
we all fall apart

so call my mother
I’m coming home
spit shine the silver
and dust the throne
get out the vacuum
and look alive
it has to be perfect
before I arrive
those are her words
those aren’t mine
a dirty house
would be just fine
she says,
sometimes we all
have to play our part
and after all
we all fall apart

once again
this time with feeling
i plead my case
up to the ceiling
i speak in vain
i curse and swear
at the mental toll
we have to bear
the head is heavy
the heart is weak
there are days
were I can’t speak
she says,
take my hand
my counterpart
and after all
we all fall apart

so here I sit
empty of grace
still feel a burden
in every place
the daily struggle
of staying sane
has reached my throat
it knows my name
the pain is heavy
the body wrecked
nothing left
to connect
she says,
it’ll be okay
you’re strong in heart
and after all
we all fall apart
