Where the Green Grows

We walked out in the ruins
on bended knee
Going out of our minds
We though we couldn’t do it
But we believed
Going out of our minds

We shopped down at the market
for all our needs
Going out of our minds
We bought only the knowledge
that we were thieves
Going out of our minds

We fought all of our instincts
to die and breathe
Going out of our minds
We saw the grass is greener
for those we grieve
Going out of our minds

A Year in a Day

And we walked through the ruins
And we talked for a while
And we thought we were ruined
Cause we couldn’t walk a mile
And I don’t know how I made it
But I’m here now for the ride
And I’ll start over with the weight of the world
Like a widower of my life

So I went to the doctor
And she told me that I might die
She told me my weakness is in my soul
But my body will survive
I said back, Yeah that’s all well and good
But my body doesn’t lie
She replied, It only tells you the truth
If you want it to be right

That wasn’t the only thing going on
with me that year
There were women
And a girl who told me
I was far more than my fears
I was father to a world I could build
As my world burned away
If I started to believe in my dreams
And stopped believing in my fate.
