I was never one
for kneeling down
They say people in glass houses
shouldn’t pray
You have the eyes
of a fighter who’s survived
all those tiny battles
they don’t name
And there are some goodbyes
that just refuse to rise
and our lungs fill up
with days of smoldering suns
Ash into ashes
Breath into breath
Divide and divide until
we are the only thing left
Ashes to ashes
Palm into palm
You know we can’t fall
if we never know
which way is down
I always save the tears
for outside on the stairs
where angels smoke
along the fire escape
And I think you do the same
wait till the window pane
casts shadows of the storm
across your face
Maybe we both know
we need that kind of love
that comes by stepping on the sea
to test our weight
Ash into ashes
Breath into breath
Divide and divide until
we are the only thing left
Ash into ashes
Hand into hand
You know we’re just water
that learned to walk on the land
I was never one
for talking out of song
but there is no score for dying
that I know
So here is our last stand
your softened fighter’s hands
and me run out of anthems
for the cause
Oh, let this be
our silent eulogy
You speak mine
and I’ll speak yours
Ash into ashes
Breath into breath
Divide and divide until
we are the only thing left
Ash into ashes
Dust into dust
We are just the water
that laid our feet down in trust
