about

Lyrics by Jason White
Written and performed by Holland

lyrics

Formed inside your skin
Let it grow
A forest in your veins
A river that cascades
Over every organ note you play
And it will all come soon

And if you love letting go
All will be forgotten
Like a marching band thats slowly
Falling out of time
It became unlistenable
The soundtrack to the only
Happiness you've known

When the cancer ate your lungs
We all fell in your coffin
And held it closed
In the darkness you will find
That this love, a memory
Was always kind
And it will all end soon

And if you love letting go
All will be forgotten
Like a marching band thats slowly
Falling out of time
It became unlistenable
The soundtrack to the only
Happiness you've known

And we all grew up so close
And dissappeared to often
As we lay down on the hill
And returned to the soil
And we form graves of our own
A place to lay a body
Where the heart became a home
