Alchemy

Break another glass, throw another hat Watch the rice fall down in sheets like rain It takes a case of beer, and a miracle It takes losing someone you've know all your years I guess I'm learning faith But it's unceremonious It's a catalog for every source of pain A piss poor fortune A treasure trove A blessing each time you look in a mirror Well bombs are going off yet still I wonder How'd you spend your Friday night? Were you quitting or starting your favorite vice? Falling in love with a song and listening twice? Or laying in a dark room, hoping to die? There's nothing as important as you or I There's nothing as important (Yep) There's ghosts in this place and they're cross with me Lost their place in history Rattling their chains cause I am barely here So panic little kid at the siren's wail Is that brimstone or off season hail? Every step I make is made in fear It's no wonder I'm so scared At the length of your hair Time keeps showing up Even when we're not there It makes me rub my eyes at the signs and wonders Grounds mirror skies and the clouds they're under Hit the bottom, see a light As a kindred soul's read her last rites While laying in a hospice waiting to die There's nothing as important as you or I There's nothing as important There's nothing else that matters Just trying to make something matter Just trying to make anything matter Just trying to make something that matters (Laying in a dark room, hoping to die There's nothing as important as you or I) Just trying to make something from matter There's nothing as important There's nothing else that matters Break another glass, throw another hat Watch the rice fall down in sheets like rain Just tell me all the facts and pat me on the back I swear I'm showing up I'll see you once I'm there
