lyrics

[I lost it, ohp- found it]

I was careful, but the ground wasn't good
It's been raining all night and day
Things were begging to give way

It was summer, nettles nestling at our feet
River over Rock Dam falling
Stones and bricks piled neat

Moon was covered by thick clouds and we-
We had been driving all night and day
The road heaved up and gave way

As we fell
Into the crust
I swear I heard you say

This is how things ought to be
This is how things go
This right here is destiny
The ever present ebb and flow

I was careful, but the hill wasn't neat
It was piled high with memories
Things were just begging to give way

Early autumn, dried leaves crunching under feet
Rain from the Holloway ceiling
Promises incomplete

Rings were broken by our hands and we-
We had been crying the whole night
The clouds just part and dissipate

As we melted
Into ether
I know that I said

This is how things ought to be
This is how things go
This right here is destiny
The ever present ebb and flow

This is what is good for us
This is what we need
There's no use in being proud
There's no place for sorrow now

This is how it ought to be
This is what happens
When you fuck with the fate you're given
You get burned-

In the end
