"Yahrzeit Homily" lyrics

We're constantly trembling men
Lives invested in glass houses
Reflections abroad, but narrowed and drawn
Just to watch as I drift between dreams

Do you recall the roads we paved
Along the way
Is it absolute
To die and be forgotten
Complete us
We're doing our best to get by
Is it absolute
To die and be forgotten
We complete us
When we know ourselves so well
Will you wait by the river
To see if we make it home safe?
Are we safe?
Safe
Are you safe?

We remember you
As a child in the arms of the infinite
We remember
As you pass through the wombs of the earth

The smell of cigarettes seeps through the door
As if I wasn't enough, you keep asking for more
Begging and borrowed, you call out my name
But you're far too young to not be in the game
We can't leave here
Until we open the door
Sarcophagus bliss or intangible copies
We work to free ourselves from what's free
You can't breathe here or find a lost cause
With my ash in the urn, who's counting what's gone

We remember you
As a child in the arms of the infinite
We remember
As you pass through the wombs of the earth
