This is an older song; the demo is on my EP called "Give Up the Ghost." I reworked it and consider it a work in progress.
lyrics
(Ashes scatter)...
Sitting in my mother's den, looking back through time that's slipped away from me. All these faces from the past, and these places that I think of now so splendidly...
Are we ghosts that roam the earth?
Are we children lost in multiple realities?
If we fall, what will matter most my friends, and
after all is said and done,
Could you sleep?
Knowing you are who you are? And who's to win, if it's won?
Will we mend this broken land? Choose a path that leads to sanity?
The dust has cleared and all we have are shattered dreams and sons of liberty.
After all, what will matter most my friends, and
when it's all said and done,
Could you breathe?
Knowing you are who you are? And has it changed anyone??
After all is said and done...
Ashes scatter...
What's it matter?
What will matter most my friends, and...
Could you sleep??
Knowing who you are?
Could you breathe??
When all is said and done, after it's through,
could you sleep? Could you breathe?
