Richard Garvey

Lyrics

Crack me open.
I am nothing
But a shell.
Trying to get out.

Pull me closer.
I am rushing away
Fighting
Giving up.

Aren't we all.
Aren't we all.
Learning.
Burning.

Leave the wreckage
Not worth saving now.
Too far gone for home.

Come back later.
When the wind has blown.
All the ash to bone.

Seeds take root
In the rot.
Growing.
Knowing.

Where we have failed
Ourselves and our children.
Something new will come and grow up.
Slowly better, now that we're gone.
I could have hope.
I could have hope.
I could have hoped for more.
