Rhodonite and Grief - La Dispute Lyrics


[Verse 1]

Lifetimes lived and died

For a moment in the turnaround

I was waiting with the car in drive

Watched you hurry on across the parking lot

The image of your life in your mind fades and

I could see an anxious strength in you

A bravery born in pain

Waiting by the front door on your cell phone

Summer at the convalescent home



[Chorus]

"Kill me by surprise"

You said

"I don't want to stay alive to watch the words go first like hers"

Lifetimes

Lived and died

Lifetimes

Lived and died



[Verse 2]

In the winter on the porch

Through the window of the door

I watch

In the kitchen with your notebook open

Frozen in the cold when I'd come back with wine

At the end of every long night

Take a moment you need to just breathe

Whole days in treatment plants

Aphasic patients

Apraxia of speech

Weeks and months go by like this

We function on routines

We sleep

We eat

We read

We eat

We drink

We sleep

We keep her picture on the fridge

I keep a rabbit toy for kids

You gave me strength to fix myself

I gave you tokens

Toys and gifts

To help you grieve



[Chorus]

You said

"Kill me by surprise"

Again

"I don't want to stay alive to watch the words go first like hers"



[Bridge]

Winter, we huddle in anger

Spring sadness, sink it in

Summer, accept all departures

In autumn start again

Winter, we huddle in anger

Spring sadness, sink it in

Summer, accept all departures

In autumn start again



[Verse 3]

I drove around for hours

For gifts to help you heal

The memories of parted ones

The seasons of our grief

Rhodonite for stress relief

Promethazine for sleep

A rabbit toy for children

My deep condolences

Rhodonite for stress

Promethazine for sleep

A rabbit toy for kids

My deep condolences

Lifetimes

Lived and died
