lyrics

i never knew nobody who could prove
their love of life with death
that methodology is leaving me confused
and moved to clueless depths

what's up there above that wedded roof?

sanitized and painted white
and vacant in that fuchsia dress
patrons pray and recollect
life's messages never left

they say you lose 21 grams in passing
but what do you get?
and what's up there?

they say that, after all
we're but a hummingbird
crumbling in its fall

plucked feathers from the breast
lend structure to the nest
and the wild winds
that take the breath
will eventually come to rest
even when the string is severed
everything will come together in the end

there's a cycle suggested
that natural vestige
only existing in national geographic
or something from the past
but we've detached and relaxed
and stepped back from the wreckage

they say that, after all
we're but a hummingbird
crumbling in its fall

and i once knew somebody who could prove
their love of life with death
the trouble was he loved and loved
until there was but nothing left

they say you lose 21 grams in passing
but what do you get?
and what's up there?
