lyrics

Time takes a common toll
It wears you out
The days push and the years pull
And we all try to slow it down
To quiet the din
Of the seconds’ cold beat
And the hours’ mad rhyme

So let’s make a sound
To drown out the whole loud world
We’ll shake off the day
And give ourselves up
To the song
The strength of the strings you strum
Now that we’re here
Let’s make the night long
And sing through these tears

Loss cuts a common wound
It lays you low
The ground shifts and the wind blows
And we all try to shut it out
To quiet the din
Of the unsteady heart
And the dissonant mind

...
