Oh, cursed morning—

Who told you to rise?

When time's a sliding mask that may still

Roll back with our eyes

Oh, blessed falling

Crawling into night—

I'm learning more than I intended

Try not to though I might



No angels walk with me

All angels ride—

I give up my ghost for thee

And we will forever slide



Oh, take my shoulders

And square them to the wind—

Go knock upon the mountain

To be let out or in

Moving where someone else has wandered

The dead trip into light—

We're learning more than we intended

Try not to though we might



No angels walk with me

All angels ride—

I give up my ghost for thee

And we will forever slide



We roll and tumble

Rattle, shake, and hum—

We're dying to be other

But we kill not to become

Grief sides with glory

They laugh deep into the night—

Learning more than they intended

Try not to though they might



No angels walk with me

All angels ride—

I give up my ghost for thee

And we will forever slide
