about

this song is very complex but is largely a conversation disavowing the idea that just fighting to stay alive, if taken to the fullest completion, isn't enough.

lyrics

“But aren’t we required to repent to be forgiven?.”
“I know what she said.”
“And you’ve heard every one of her confessions since she was an innocent little girl.
Tell me her first”

“I lied, I cheated, i disobeyed my parents.”
“Ah, the sins of youth. They’re sort of quaint when you take them in context, aren’t they?”

“What would you say that context should be?”
“it's Life. One that goes on like...
week after week, year after year,
collecting disappointment
and resent in waves captured in frames
like snapshots in pages on the ground
Laid in an album.”

“‘I’m sorry’ is a lie we tell ourselves so we can forget our past”
“The spirit is weak when the flesh is willing.”

“No man there, and no woman was more penitent, more honest,
Who shed more tears or so much blood as they count themselves”
“No man there, and no woman was more penitent, more honest,
Who shed more tears or so much blood as they count themselves”
“I have remembered this too much;
so now I can't be sure whether it is
even the event or my memory of it.”
