Lyrics
Have we come of age to this?
Reflection on reaching a certain point in life.
Is this all we'll ever get
Questioning if this is the ultimate outcome.
Hidden truth and lies and blame
Mention of hidden truths, lies, and assigning blame.
Said you bleed a poor man's blood
Claiming that someone bleeds a poor man's blood.
It's not yours mixed with the mud
Asserting that the blood is not the speaker's, but mixed with mud.
You could never die like that
Rejecting the possibility of dying in that manner.
Grace to thee
Invoking grace.
Empathy
Expressing the need for empathy.
May you never sleep well again
Wishing for perpetual restlessness as a consequence.
It's a larger frame we need
Advocating for a broader perspective.
Here's a picture incomplete
Describing an incomplete picture.
You're a tragedy at best
Labeling someone as a tragedy, implying a negative outcome.
As it falls apart you'll see
Suggesting that things are falling apart.
It's a shame it couldn't be
Expressing regret that things couldn't be different.
I guess someone else knew better
Indicating that someone else had better knowledge or insight.
Grace to thee
Reiterating the invocation of grace.
Empathy
Reemphasizing the importance of empathy.
May you never sleep well again
Reiterating the wish for perpetual restlessness.
Grace to thee
Continuing the invocation of grace.
And empathy
Reaffirming the need for empathy.
May they never sleep well again
Extending the wish for perpetual restlessness to others.
Little angels left by the roadside smile.
Depicting abandoned, smiling angels by the roadside.
Grace to thee
Repeating the invocation of grace.
Empathy
Reiterating the importance of empathy.
May we never sleep well again
Reaffirming the wish for perpetual restlessness for all.
