Mother Mary, perhaps there’s no comfort for me
I simply cannot let it be
My brother’s weary and mourning dawns on me
Where is your word for me?

Restless nights and sleepless days waiting for you
Waiting for your son
Stressless nights and endless days of comfort for
The enemies of love

I thought I saw the sun this morning, I thought
I felt it on my face
You left us with the angels soaring, this world
Keeps me in my place

let’s get together and share information
laugh at the dj’s on the radio station
do you remember when we met
each & ev’ry kiss was soft and wet
its quiet now in my stream of consciousness
i’ll buy it now – what’s the price for common sense?
mother always told me that I had none
held me tighter than a republican’s hand gun
but i’m not bitter i’m just dying
i think i’ll be okay, promise i’m not lying

I don’t believe in karma,
I don’t believe in luck
I am sad as hell and displaced
but don’t believe I’m stuck

I’m running out of energy
but I don’t believe I’m running out of time
I’m running on caffeine and anger
and I don’t believe in holding it inside

There’s a time for everything
and everything will be okay in time
But I am a part of everything
I want to change everything outside

I don’t believe in second chances,
I just believe in love
I have caused so much damage
7×70 could never be enough

We wait for one to deliver
Near the banks of the river
Last night was so cold
All our children shivered

In elongated expectation
We wait, we doubt, we fear
But hope is renewed in mourning
When morning skies are clear

roses are dead,
bruises are blue
beneath the sun
there’s nothing new
