[Verse 1]
There’s something unnerving about the way nobody laughs when you peel back the past
Looking straight out in your hospital gown at the skyline that’s staring right back
Birds on a wire, bloody sun, burning tires, all the baggage you haven’t unpacked
People check watches, their movements so cautious, the beauty just falls through the cracks
[Chorus]
Beyond the eyes and the trains and the angels
The arrows and the marigold, the junk you never sold
All the laughter, the breath that comes aftеr
A silvery voice in the wind, sayin “Keep going, you’ll find it again.”
[Verse 2]
Quartеrlife crisis, you crumble to vices, the bottle ends up in your hand
Glass on the ground as your engine breaks down and the sirens scream out like the damned
Travel the country, your clothes are disgusting, the Greyhound is running its race
Don’t look in the window, cause you and I both know you can’t bear to see your own face
CHORUS
Beyond the eyes and the trains and the angels
The arrows and the marigold, the junk you never sold
All the laughter, the breath that comes after
A silvery voice in the wind, sayin “Keep going, you’ll find it again.”
[Bridge]
The birth of a daughter just makes you a father like a crown of thorns makes you a king
The wedding was a fever dream, you did it for your self-esteem, it melted the wax on your wings
It creeps in the corners, you keep looking forward, your daughter won’t answer the phone
And who knew that leaving would just leave you bleeding, cause no one likes being alone
[Verse 3]
End of the line and you’re seeing the signs, yellow eyes and a sense of relief
A garden of memory and half of a century, you know now that time is a thief
And all of your apologies can’t fix a tattered tapestry, the pain’s woven in like a thread
And she will do great things, and you will be watching from your cityview hospital bed
Sayin keep going, you’ll find it
