I bear the weight of such ill tides
I am the bearer of blackened news
To lose a loved one is to be
Forever bruised
A dream becomes a nightmare
A pressing stage and spectral set
With screaming lights and hackneyed tabbies
Who have forgotten what love begets
Gordon there are no words for now
But I'm so sorry
You always have more love to give
But if not, call it quits
♪
Tie down the six gun saddle
Prepare to paint all the mountaintops
We'll lace the scarlet skips with orchids
The latch key child we'll learn to watch
And over time we'll wrestle sadness
We'll stretch our lives out arabesque
We'll play a dirge to childish games (laughing loud)
As we all settle in the grass
I'm full of bad, bad feeling
There's anger in the air
We hold to the swimming of words
As if pilings on a pier
But when warm eyes flash Morse code
Only one can see and read
That's the one for me (for me)

I don't think I'm strong enough
To hold everyone up with just my ego
Why did you have to go? (Where did he go?)
I don't think I'm strong enough
