Текст La Dispute – Rhodonite And Grief
Текст:
Lifetimes lived and died
For a moment in the turnaround
I was waiting with the car in drive
Watched you hurry on across the parking lot
And I could see an anxious strength in you
A bravery born in pain
Waiting by the front door on your cell phone
Summer at the convalescent home
«Kill me by surprise», you said
«I don’t wanna stay alive
To watch the words go first like hers»
Lifetimes lived and died
Lifetimes lived and died
In the winter on the porch
Through the window of the door
I watch in the kitchen with your notebook open
Frozen in the cold when I’d come back with wine
At the end of every long night
Take a moment you need to just breathe
Whole days in treatment plans
Aphasic patients, apraxia of speech
Weeks and months go by like this
We function on routines
We sleep, we eat, we read
We eat, we drink, we sleep
We keep her picture on the fridge
I keep a rabbit toy for kids
You gave me strength to fix myself
I gave you tokens, toys and gifts
You said «kill me by surprise again,
I don’t wanna stay alive
To watch the words go first like hers»
Winter we huddle in anger, spring sadness sink in it
Summer accept all departures, in autumn start again
Winter we huddle in anger, spring sadness sink in it
Summer accept all departures, in autumn start again
I drove around for hours
For gifts to help you heal
The memories of parted ones
The seasons of our grief
Rhodonite for stress relief
Promethazine for sleep
A rabbit toy for children
My deep condolences
Rhodonite for stress
Promethazine for sleep
A rabbit toy for kids
My deep condolences
Lifetimes lived and died
