A Better Day Tomorrow

Will there be a better day tomorrow

To misdirect this terror that I feel

Until the echoes of your laughter

Become too painful to conceal

Will there be a blinding light

Or does everything just cut out

Into the dark where we begin

Will we get the timing right

Just one day of this fleeting life

Or are we strangers till the end

Will there be parades and prison cells

Reward or reckoning for lies we tell

Will the waters rise and fall

Will the sun consume us all

Will there be a blinding light

Will there be a blinding light

Or does everything just cut out

Into the dark where we begin

Will we get the timing right

Just one day of this fleeting life

Or are we strangers till the end

On the shore brought by the tide

The blue of irises and sky

The faintest breath of what we knew

The waters rise and fall without you
