All This Time

I saw it for a second but then the light was fading Sister morphine was my lady in waiting Can I help it if I can’t help it now, all the stories I tell myself What can I say to you all, it’s fair to say, no words will do All this time, time is speeding, it’s hard to recognize the life we’re leaving it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go now And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it’s each other we will miss Oh the happiest moment of my life, was the saddest moment of my life Was in prison when my daddy died They didn’t tell me for fear of suicide Told me when I got outside, I started using as soon as I was alone that night And I died and I went up straight to him He said where you been, my troubled son All this time, time is speeding, hard to recognize the life we’re leaving it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go now And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it’s each other we will miss Oh the happiest moment of my life, was the saddest moment of my life Oh my love can I just sit and hold your face. We finally made it here but now the light is low. All this time, time is speeding, hard to recognize the life we’re leaving it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go now And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle Now I’m feeling kind of faint, I think I need to lay down Oh you almost saved me You almost saved me You almost saved me now You almost saved me now You almost saved me now You almost saved me now All this time we pledge allegiance to the tune of a thousand treasons One nation under something, under water, under mass incarceration In the age of feast and famine can we disrupt the social canon Let our children lead s’we all believe, let us see the forest for the trees --- All This Time - Dispatch and The White Buffalo
