Vic Davi

Falling back asleep
With a memory buried deep
We are one in all we are
Here and now sit fixed apart
Someone tell me, lay it out
Where we went wrong in our doubt
Holding hands here with our sons
Slow bleed for everyone
Singing grace and peace to you
Mirrored fangs and helpless youth
We were once a righteous few
Look deep and spit the truth
What have we become
What have we become

Sister my sister, do you feel something yet
Wherein little or plenty - bowing down nonetheless
My brother dear brother, hold fast in the midst
All is working against you, but you've got confidence
It's the taste on my tongue
It's the tang in my mouth
Doubled down on the cause
Little room for the doubt
It's the body of bread
It's the blood and the wine
We were once a righteous few
Look deep and spit the truth
What have we become
What have we become

So my time has come I'll lay my weapons down
Every avenue run dry in simple blank
And I can't wait to find the reasons
And I can't wait to feel the seasons
On my face, on my face, on my face

So I'll bend it till it breaks right through and through
Every step we took a complex faded gray
And I can't wait to know the present
But I can wait for this dear heaven
In my veins, in my veins, in my veins

And all we have is dust
Running fingers through the sand
And mediocrity is comin right for me
It's in my hands
In my hands, in my hands
In my hands, in my hands
In my hands, in my hands
In my hands, in my hands

If these walls could speak
They’d have nothing to say
If these ears could hear again
Would they hear You breathe my name

Absent hearted and torn
Will the heavens turn their aim
And dare I moan a word once more
Every day persists the same

Wrinkled papers folded back
A weathered spine with no embrace
And all the living are calling out
Their perfect eyes can see Your face

This leather binding forlorn
How long can we play the game
Cause I believe Your love will pour out
As the heavens turn their aim

They say peace will come
Peace will come
Peace will come
They say peace will come

Quietly in the company of my oldest friends
God we know so much about each other
Through the night and the break of dawn
Thinking about how we plan our next adventure
Oh it's something I know so well
Every thought and the way we just get one another
It's time-tested and wholly true, but I'd be damned if I never knew
Your embrace, your fearless right
In this cold god-forsaken, friendless night

Least they're here within reach
Like strangers on a busy street
I can see and I can know
I can choose to let it show
I want you to stab me in the back and tell me you're comin over here tonight
I wanna see the ugly side of you
But I'd be damned if I never knew
Your embrace, your fearless right
In this cold, god-forsaken, friendless night

The autumn trees have fallen fast asleep
And in the air nostalgia everywhere
I hear the faithful book she’s babbling
Without a care the leaves fall through the air

Assuredly I step onto the scene
The evergreens have never haunted me
And in my heart I feel the mighty wind
Moving me, moving me

The seasons change ever so tenderly
And life will die in all its agony
And here we are amidst the out of reach
And through it all you’ve gone and stayed with me

In hopeful words the world will move along
Each day anew she breathes and sings her song
And in the hour of its tempest fright
She cheeks a grin and bids the world goodnight
Bids the world goodnight
