Now A Before Shadow

You popped a pill and saw a god
I rode a bike
And I felt the breeze pass me by and I cried for you
I’ve got my worries in a headlock on the edge of the summer
And I’m screaming “Don’t fuck this up Greg, you only live once”
But as soon as danger’s face is facing me
I face the sky and pretend I don’t know you
And still today I see the same cloud ribbon gift wrapped heaven as I used to
I wanna rip the sky open like Christmas morning children do
I wanna rip the sky open and see what makes it rain, and shine, and raise, and ruin
I wanna rip the sky open and see
Into an empty parking lot, a cloudy sky, and a werewolf moon
Into a growing vastness that has come too soon
Into my growing bones that will become me too
Into
Impatient frustration on empty hands
It starts all stepping out of the snow and I can’t help but give it away
And I can’t keep myself from being taken away
And still today I see the same cloud ribbon gift wrapped heaven as I used to
I wanna rip the sky open like Christmas morning children do
I wanna rip the sky open like Christmas morning children do
I wanna rip the sky open and see what makes it rain, and shine, and raise, and ruin
I wanna rip the sky open and see
Into an empty parking lot, a cloudy sky, a werewolf moon
A note I can’t stop reading, friends that will be leaving me soon
And the reasons I’m changing with the change that surrounds me and you
