lyrics

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

So let this be a document
Of this moment
In time, the testament
Of another placid year

And maybe it’ll only become clear
When we are no longer here
That none of this had to matter—
Everyone has dreams of surrender

For your sake I holed up in this town
Just for your sake

So let this be a document
Of this moment
In time, the sweetest fruit
Always turns the sourest

The tinny scent of rain,
A harbinger so clear
This buzzing in your ear
Numinous as a ghost train

Open the windows and let the world in
None of it is ours to keep
