Alchemy

Break another glass, throw another hat
Watch the rice fall down in sheets like rain
It takes a case of beer, and a miracle
It takes losing someone you've know all your years
I guess I'm learning faith
But it's unceremonious
It's a catalog for every source of pain
A piss poor fortune
A treasure trove
A blessing each time you look in a mirror

Well bombs are going off yet still I wonder
How'd you spend your Friday night?
Were you quitting or starting your favorite vice?
Falling in love with a song and listening twice?
Or laying in a dark room, hoping to die?
There's nothing as important as you or I
There's nothing as important
(Yep)

There's ghosts in this place and they're cross with me
Lost their place in history
Rattling their chains cause I am barely here
So panic little kid at the siren's wail
Is that brimstone or off season hail?
Every step I make is made in fear
It's no wonder I'm so scared
At the length of your hair
Time keeps showing up
Even when we're not there

It makes me rub my eyes at the signs and wonders
Grounds mirror skies and the clouds they're under
Hit the bottom, see a light
As a kindred soul's read her last rites
While laying in a hospice waiting to die
There's nothing as important as you or I
There's nothing as important
There's nothing else that matters

Just trying to make something matter
Just trying to make anything matter
Just trying to make something that matters
(Laying in a dark room, hoping to die
There's nothing as important as you or I)
Just trying to make something from matter
There's nothing as important
There's nothing else that matters

Break another glass, throw another hat
Watch the rice fall down in sheets like rain
Just tell me all the facts and pat me on the back
I swear I'm showing up
I'll see you once I'm there
