All There Is

by Sage Francis

on We Share a Similar Joy (2020)

[Verse 1]
This one goes out to all the hopeless sinners
With grave allegiances, so meaningless and vain
The walking wounded in a pageant of contenders
Who balance on a rail of pain for just a pail of rain

[Chorus]
And everything
Is barely mist, blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession, add it up, extract a lesson
More than this, once again, like a bullet as a friend
Tell me, can that be all there is?

[Verse 2]
In my rectory of doubt, I kneel to pray like one devout
As time the great gray dreamless sleep of a useless modern god
Erodes away each sorry day as wretched Adams, one hell to pay
Content upon a rail of pain for just a little rain

[Chorus]
And everything
Is dearly missed, blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession, add it up, extract a lesson
More than this, once again, like a bullet as friend
Tell me, can that be all there is?

[Verse 3]
There's an endless disposition, and it doesn't mean a goddamn thing
There's space for a paper airplane race in the eye of a hurricane
And if pigs could fly, then surely so could I
But this pedestrian knows better than to even try
My divinity is caught between the colors of a butterfly

[Chorus]
And everything
Is dearly missed, blood relations and bricks
My expression, my confession, add it up, extract a lesson
More than this, once again, like a bullet as friend
Tell me, can that be all there is?
All there is...
