lyrics

“Lamentations please be mine,”
I heard your little sister crying,
“Everybody’s so sensitive
I can’t have my own hard times”
“Eros never came to me,”
Your brother complained to me,
“From college on I’ve felt ready
Yet my course still holds steady”

How very hard,
Everything is real
Draw, draw your card
Everything is real
How very hard

I still come around here
That bench is where our ghosts sit
At the top you lend me your ear
And I whisper into it
“You’re trying to find your own mind
These are not the principles
To use in war of this kind
If love means really, really trying”

How very hard
Everything is real
Draw, draw your card
Everything is real
How very hard
