lyrics

The first day after Sarah’s mother died
I couldn’t even bring myself out of ideas
Broken laws call for broken measures
suicide held up someone’s career

They found her in a bath tub in California
Her ex-lover was addicted, abused her disorder
But I’m sitting here thinking I could be either
Sifting through the sand in a meaningless torpor

The first day after Matthew’s mother passed
I heard it through a message from somebody else
A pilfered sky in the bright blue desert
Had robbed her mind and left her entering bad health

Yes, I'd only met her a few times before,
She was the sweetest women I’d ever met.
I wonder why I never got that call
I’d be prying to ask about the disconnect

We dream alone, we live with our eyes open
We see alone, we dream of never dreaming again

The first day I learned that my mom had cancer
I paced around the apartment like it was a stage
In a panic thought about the day when
my uncle drank himself out of a cage

They say there’s always a first day for everything
That’s how we grow as human beings.
Me, I’m in a state of perpetual learning
Reciting facts until I’m convinced.
