""GRAVESTONES" ALBUM" lyrics
""GRAVESTONES" ALBUM"
When someone makes a death-threat, you expect a war
And when that war never comes, you realize that those death threats were ghost stories
But that's not the end of the fight
Just because the soldiers never arrive in our borders, just because those men never came knocking in our doors doesn't mean the fight is over. It means the fight never began
And maybe the fight that never came is actually the fight that's been raging all along
Inside each and every single one of us
And maybe that fight doesn't start in a battlefield and end in a graveyard
Maybe that fight starts in the graveyard and it's not with an army or a militia or a battalion
It's not with men at all
Maybe that fight is with our demons and our pasts and our insecurities and our memories and our fears, and the ghosts of who we used to be
And maybe the only way to win that fight is to conquer ourselves, our ghosts
So stand up
Stand up and fight!
It doesn't matter if you win and it doesn't matter if you lose
All that matters is you stand up and you fight because the death threats may have been ghost stories, but all ghost stories leave gravestones
Recounting the hardships which inspired the creation of his "Gravestones" album, Tom MacDonald concluded in a Facebook post on the 12th of August 2020, "All the bad times I spoke about earlier – I'm not far enough away from them to consider myself 'out of the woods' – but baby I'm here. And I've been hiking through these woods for a long damn time. And I can FINALLY see a break in the trees up ahead…and in that small clearing – I see 'Gravestones'. A resting place for everyone who ever told me that "I cant'. I'm not going to stop to smell the roses, though. I'm going to pick those roses out of the dirt and rest them on the graves"
