Hotel Books - Lose All Friends

Forever is not relative
So tell me again if you've ever lied to me
Life gathers sorrows
And sorrows gather in my head
And no one can die in vain
When no one is ever dead
And all that's been revealed is all I can know
And all I can really do is learn to let go
And nothing is earned when I'm not awake
And nothing is learned,
Even when nothing is gained

You calm the waters and you calm the waves
We calm our daughters and teach them to behave
It's a learning curve
Nothing I can do can change the circumstances
But in all of these advances
All I can do is effect the way that I cope
With all the ways this world has made me change
Because of all the things I've said that I regret

And all of God's children
Burn their skin under the same sun
And we slowly learn how to
Fall asleep when we're finally done
Because God let me fall in love
And I can hear her voice echoing back to me
"I'm such a failure"

Forever is not relative
So tell me again if you've ever lied to me
