Life Never Promised Any Security, That's Why They Sell Insurance

from This Could Mean Trouble, You Don't Speak For The Club by Drew Danburry

/

lyrics

I bear the weight of such ill tides, I am the bearer of blackened news,
to lose a loved one is to be, forever bruised.
A dream becomes a nightmare, a pressing stage and spectral set,
with screaming lights and hackneyed tabbies who have forgotten what love begets.
Gordon there are no words for now but I'm so sorry
you always have more love to give
and if not, I'll call it quits
Tie down the six gun saddle, prepare to paint all the mountaintops,
we'll lace the scarlet skips with orchids, the latch key child we'll learn to watch.
and over time we'll wrestle sadness, we'll stretch our lives out arabesque,
we'll play a dirge to childish games (laughing loud) as we all settle in the grass.
I'm full of bad bad feeling, there's anger in the air.
we hold to the swimming of words, as if pilings on a pier.
but when warm eyes flash morse code that only one can see and read,
that's the one for me.
I don't think I'm strong enough, to hold everyone up with just my ego
where did he go? why did you have to go? why did he have to go?
It's just the flickering of lights, it's just the cold of winter nights,
it's just the painful play of morning light.
