How We Live and Die

lyrics

How We Live and Die

Father swore he had a reason
Before he swept them out to sea
But he hid all his regrets
Behind bloody bayonets
And never passed those memories to me

We sit rapt, in conversation
With the men who hold the lease
And our bills are unpaid
Our amends still unmade
But the worst thing we could do is cry, “Police!”

And lest we forget
We are born to deceive
And I bet
If you left it to me
I’d get a little

Preoccupied with how we live and die
Preoccupied with how we live and die
Afraid of the space that we occupy
Preoccupied with how we live and die

Mother folded in the middle
Both her hands full of the rain
And she offered it to me
And said “all the rest will be,
And the best that we can do is to remain.”
