lyrics

I fail to see the difference in
What you lost when you began
And what you gained by staying till the end
I’m afraid to ask why you’re still here
The answer just might terrify me
Your conductors baton spun wildly and splintered as it fell.
With grace sufficient to answer my earlier questions

Just then up ahead
A man did turn the corner
I was at a funeral for my friend
And he was just another mourner
Nothing to whatever
Give me all I need
And take nothing from me

You were gunning for some strange revenge
So we fell right in
I was playing second violent violin
We would harmonize in good deed and sin
There’s no shame in standing in the rain if mud’s where you began
You’re depth at once astounded me and pulled me further in
With grace sufficient to answer my previous questions
Just then up ahead
I man did turn the corner
I was at a funeral for my friend
And he was just another mourner
Nothing to whatever
Give me all I need
And take nothing from me
