This Too Shall Pass

You've got a heart that's heavy like a suitcase
at the airport that you wish you could leave behind
And every thought in your head is a piece of
stale bread on the kitchen counter of your life
You catch yourself in the mirror trying to stand up straight
You exhale, your shoulders, they fold
And every song that you sing faintly
rings of a story you've already told

But this too shall pass
Albeit like a kidney stone
This too shall pass
Like a freight train riding through the snow
This too shall pass, so slow, it don't seem steady
Sadness, it don't leave you till its ready

I had a dream last night that I lost all my
teeth and I was falling down a bottomless well
I awoke in fright in the middle of the night
What it meant, yeah, I couldn't tell
So I went to the kitchen to make some coffee
The whole house, it started to shake
A hole cracked in the floor and I fell
once more, and realized I wasn't awake

But this too shall pass
Thought it may feel like a double dream
This too shall pass
Don't you pay no mind to what it means
This too shall pass, so slow, so steady
Sadness, it don't leave you, sadness, it don't leave you
Sadness, it don't leave you till it's ready
