lyrics

At year's end, I'll lose my friends
Assume the worst, a dread rehearsed
Always try to brace against
The shifting of the fabric as we bend
Always try to brace against your friends

And gone so soon?
The settling smoke obscures all trace of bloom
In this, the springtime of a bliss protected only by its fumes
Always try to glide past that lagoon
I am waiting to be
Crushed underneath
The bridge that leads from the future
To the shade of its seed
There are notes beyond woe
But they've uncovered a word for the colors I'm turning
True

Like failure costs only a penny round
My eyelids gleam like copper
Always try to wear that soil like a crown
As we rise for our breakfasts
Poke our heads through the dirt
In their power I am faithful
For look what I've found
Evading the ground
A January flower
Now mine to desert
Dirt: we call it soil in the garden
Dirty garden?
Blame the gardener
Not your partner
You could be dead
You could be married
Or stuck in the same prison
And I wouldn't know the difference

To my surprise, I find your guise appalling
And start digging at the gauze
But when the guards arrive
My sugarcoat of calm is no disguise
Always make the most of those goodbyes
