Consolations

We cut our tongues, on the grey of morning for the one we love
The sisters argued about what was done, as joy and sorrow often do
On the mantle hangs, our hearts with yours and all the sticky pain
The same thing that we have blamed, is the same thing we need

The shadow light can bring
In the joy and suffering
The shadow light can bring
In the joy and suffering

In the arms of saint felicity is a thousand storms
Quietly rusting but still giving hope
This is a comma not a period
Curse the birds for singing on a day when we have hurt
Trying to see through eyes that weeping blurred
If I could see you would it even change

The shadow light can bring
In the joy and suffering
The shadow light can bring
In the joy and suffering

Rend for me a thousand shades of blue
Give constellations new consolations
The shadow you cast continues
But a silver lining, silver lining

Rend for me a thousand shades of blue
Give constellations new consolations
The shadow you cast continues
But a silver lining, silver lining

Wraps itself around you, wraps itself around you
In a kindness only darkness proves
Wraps itself around you, wraps itself around you
In a kindness only darkness proves
Wraps itself around you, wraps itself around you
In a kindness only darkness proves
