Fall flat on your face
There’s nothing like learning the hard way, sometimes
But your soul is sitting there waiting
Waiting for you to embrace
The hard and the heavy and the helpless places
It’s your shadow collection, and it’s worth more than you know
Did you go inside when winter tried to show up early
Did you find a window when the birds stuck around
Did you love the ice and snow for no other reason than to get closer
No one knows where this is going
Have you heard the news
The part that you play is priceless
We need you now, I need you now
And don’t believe everything you’re holding on to
The other side of the story is just beginning
Did you lose yourself in a painful past that pulled you under
Did you find your way out by the skin of your tears
Did you love what’s left for no other reason than to get closer
Let’s fly in the face of perfection That is not a race we can win
Once we give up the finish line
We can make love with losing
A masterpeace in the unmaking
A work of art that never ends
A swansong of new beginnings
Where the unprepared mind meets the edge of existence
Did you love your grip when you were trying to hold it all together Did you love being lost when you didn’t have a clue
Did you love unraveling when everything was falling apart around you
And everything was falling together
And everything was falling apart
And everything was falling together
And everything was falling
