Latter Days

I feel:: contemplative
What song is on a loop in my head right now:: This one.

What a beautiful piece of heartache this has all turned out to be.
Lord knows we've learned the hard way about healthy apathy.
And I use these words pretty loosely.
There's so much more to life than words.
There is a me you would not recognize, dear.
Call it the shadow of myself.
And if the music starts before I get there,
dance without me.
You dance so gracefully.
I really think I'll be ok.
They've taken their toll these latter days.
Nothin' like sleepin' on a bed of nails.
Nothin' much here but our broken dreams.
Ah, but baby if all else fails,
nothin' is ever quite what it seems.
And I'm dyin' inside to leave you with more than just cliches.
There is a me you would not recognize, dear.
Call it the shadow of myself.
And if the music starts before I get there,
dance without me.
You dance so gracefully.
I really think I'll be ok.
They've taken their toll these latter days.
But tell them that it's real.
Tell them it's really real.
I just don't have much left to say.
They've taken their toll these latter days.
They've taken their toll these latter days.
