Lyrics

Dedicated to David Bacon & all who are grieving
lyrics
All the art and all the books
And so many songs and all their hooks
Are made to touch that place
Where pain and love share space
And all the ways It can be said
Fall short When it's your love who's dead

Maybe they died in your arms
And you heard their last rattling breath
Maybe you’re haunted cause it happened while you were gone
Or maybe it was a long slow death
Maybe you dream about them but probably not
Cause probably sleep's not something you've got

When every death contains a thousand more
And you're holding onto breath but you don't know what for
When the minutes feel like years because a second changed your life
Just know you're not the only one
Alone with grief tonight
Alone with grief tonight

You won't believe how the world goes on
Someone’s putting bread in a shopping cart
Someone else is arguing over parking spots
While you're crushed by a broken heart
You might wanna curse the ignorant
You know I'd understand
But we never know what's hiding
In the actions of a man

When every death contains a thousand more
And you're holding onto breath but you don't know what for
When the minutes feel like years because a second changed your life
Just know you're not the only one
Alone with grief tonight
Alone with grief tonight

No one can walk your path for you
But so many have and so many do
Feel alone with grief tonight
Alone with grief tonight
