La Dispute - You And I In Unison Lyrics
What will I find?
Some sacred thing to help me handle the tragedy?
Or did I once–Did I have it and lose it?No one should ever have to walk through the fire alone.
No oneShould ever have to brave that storm. No,
Everybody needs someone orSomething.And when I sing, don't I sing your name out
Right at the same timeThat I sing my own?Some days I swear I can feel you splitting the light through the windowFrame.
The shapes it makes are always warmer, always brighter thanThe rest of what comes through.Some days I swear I can hear you sing to me or whisper my name in theSlightest way.
It's like the warmest light now laid across myBedroom floor is somehow actually you and
Not just sunlight.I have the memory climb down the balcony.
I put a flower on the backOf it's dress.
It's probably best to forget it.
It's probablyBest to let go.
I paint it the shade of where the skin and the lipMeet,
Only a moment after breaking the kiss. And
I blur outEverything else.
That's how I choose to remember it.Some nights are a lot like the days, I lay awake too late, I watch theShadows casted
Trace your shape. Those silver slivers on the wallThen on the bed sheets.
I hear your song in the trees. I finallyFall into rest.
Often later when I'm sleeping you show up in myDreams.
Just doing simple things like buying groceries.
AndWhen I wake up I could swear you must've just left me
Like you got upTo make breakfast or maybe just to get dressed.But the truth is, you were never there. You won't ever be.
SometimesI think I'm not either so what do I do
When every day still seems toStart and end with you?
And you won't ever know, you won't ever see,
How much your ghost since then has been defining me.I leave the memory up atop the balcony.
I tear this flower from theBack of the dress.
It's best this time, I bet, to just forget andLet go.
Paint it the shade of where the lip bleeds and blur it out.
I blur out everything else, just blur out everything else.
And let go, and let go, and let go.Everybody has to let go someday
Everybody has to let go.I wonder when I will. I wonder.But if I still hear you singing in every city I meet
After I blur itAll out, our every memory, if
You never fade with the days, yourShape still haunting me then,
Should I not just sing along?
Should I not just sing along?I will sing sweetly hope that the notes change but
I do not need itTo happen. I'm not resigned to it. And
If they never do I'll singYour name in every line.
Just like I did throughout this. Just likeI've always done.
In every gun, the empty church, and every torturedSon.
In all those giving up. In all those giving in.
Until IDie I will sing our names in unison.Until I die I will sing our names in unison.
