Let This Be the Day

from The Everlasting War by Billy Harvey

lyrics

LET THIS BE THE DAY
It’s so hard to walk away from here,
Insides seize my eyes grow tears
The ground below my feet clings, my eyes sting
Time breaks in to edible pieces, moves across the sky like demons
Ghosts in trees, heart shaped leaves.

Let this be the day that we start over
Let this be the day that we begin to begin again
Let this be the day that we say anything at all
Anything at all…say

There’s a wall I run my hand across
As hard as concrete as cold as loss
The ground below my feet still thirsty
The ground that holds proof of my memory
Seconds tick away by the millions
People multiply by the billions
Get lost go broke, you live, let go

Ch

Life can also pass behind your eyes
Life can also pass behind your eyes
Life can also flash behind your eyes

I found the road that I had lost, a winding river of stakes
Stake their claim and never move, just keep the possible in view.
I want you to be here with me, desire feeds the fire of the sun
Wishes are the clouds that blow away and blind the faith in everyone
We’re all made in India; we’re all made in Mexico,
We’re all made in the motor city; some of us are made in Tokyo
We’re all made in Canada we’re made in Alaska too
What’s good for me? What’s good for you?

Ch
