lyrics

Humans use art
To communicate the methods imprecise
But it approximates
Screens won’t rot your brain there’s no need to be so dire
It’s just upgraded versions of stories by the fire

Inside the mirror
there is another one
inside the mirror there is another one

Why can’t I cry? Is there something wrong with me?
Sometimes I think I’d never if it wasn’t for tv.
When tragedy strikes I’m as somber as a grave

But when the girl finds her dog I’m bawling like a babe
If it’s irl I’m a pretty somber guy but when the cellos play legato my cheeks can’t stay dry

Some people go to a church
Others play dnd
I write songs and play improv
I’m a pretty tepid freak

beyond the veil there is another one
beyond the veil there may be another one
after this morning there will be another one
after this mourning we'll just be mourning again

When you’re standing at a headstone
Moisture is dripping down your cheekbones
Take some solace in the thought
that you are not alone

Every life will end its true
your ancestors lost someone too,
They found a way to get through
You can ugly cry with an entire retinue

Beyond the veil
There is another one beyond the veil there will be another one
And we can’t know until we are there ourselves
