Exodus Songtext
von Sugar Grass

Day like today
Is barely a scrape
It′s hard to believe
You say it's better this way
You′re dull like the phrases
That cover up the pain
We'll be alright
We'll be out walking

It′s here we′ll be well
Or here we'll make hell
There′s nobody else
You're stuck with yourself
I′m usually too afraid
To even say your name
It's hard to believe
So I won′t explain it


Would have been ten
Years to the day
Nightfall brings with it
Treacherous waters
It isn't fate
We share the garden of agony
I guess sometimes there's nothing for it

Don′t go there
It only hurts
It′s not healthy for you baby
Don't turn back
You′re not there
Stay here present with me steady

Body's a bruise
That′s keeping the score
I say it again
You say you've heard it before
How many days
It′s like the bubonic plague
I think you're right
There'll be due fall out


Name the new place
For what you learn
Ride out the waves
You know that birthing burns
Not that you′ll hate
Whichever way you change
Breath at a time
Just wait for the morning

Mountaintop mystery
Feel the earth shake
Bring back some grapes for me
Sodden reigns beneath
Drift in the thunderous sea
Hear the ghosts wail
As they all climb out

Don′t go there
It only hurts
There's no storm around you raging
Don′t turn back
You're not there
Only dead things cease their changing

Leave your home
Change your name
There′s a Promised Land of milk and honey
Count the stars
Tend the fire
Attend to the reality

Newborn howl
Nature's claws
Wild Life feels it′s slow way forward
Don't shrink from
Labour pains
Spirit hovers o'er the waters

Cloud by day
Fire by night
Feel the forecast in the air
Blood red Nile
Bones and bile
Wild wind dances with your hair

Arms outstretched
Palms upturned
Hear the voice of god in foreign tongues
Let it be
Let it go
Learn to sing the songs unsung

Would have been ten
Years to the day
Benching myself for the foreseeable future
Valley of bones one day
Will up and begin to shake
We′ll be alright
We′ll be here talking
