Record Tracklist

  1. The Sun Rose Today -:-- / 4:41

I awoke in golden light
Folded into my lover’s side
And in the waking, I heard a voice say your name
Like stone my heart sank

The fields out my window are impossibly green
And my eyes in deep blue rapture of this eternal canopy
Tell me: how is it possible that you’re not here to see?
How is it possible that you’re gone?
These are the things taking my breath away:
The sun rose today, and you did not

Here we drive at highway speeds
Chasing beauty, claiming dreams
And in my throat, a brick of curses and tears
For your stolen years

The fields out my window are impossibly green
And my eyes in deep blue rapture of this eternal canopy
Tell me: how is it possible that you’re not here to see?
How is it possible that you’re gone?
These are the things taking my breath away:
The sun rose today, and you did not

Can I just sit here for a while, and let the silence take my mind
Holding both at the same time
The beauty and the pain
The emptiness, the everything
The beauty and the pain
The emptiness, the everything
The emptiness, the everything

The beauty and the pain
The beauty and the pain
The beauty and the pain
The beauty and the pain …
