lyrics

as sometimes happens a moment hovered and remained for much more than a moment and sound stopped and movement stopped for much more than a moment underneath the weight of everything we're turning black coals into diamonds and we're sifting through the remains and picking out the pearls when we find them and we're drawing lines to form fish in the sand if they find you out they'll hang you upside-down with sharpened spikes to form fit through your hands and twisted thorns for a crown now the happy ever after is still a ways away have patience when the good news took root all the other just became outside interference rumor has it the skeptics are restless be sure to tip your hat when you go by
