The Next Time You Win

Don't believe everything you read The light can change so subtly You took it hard that you were on the ropes Now you can't find any grace in the grace notes But there's not one heart here that's counting on you At last that blood's run clear That fountain of youth And you'll head home tonight And file your sins smooth again Until the next time you win Until the next time you win The filter of hindsight is so unflattering So you choose to believe that you've shed that old skin But it's just mark two Your story retold Spinning your little black heart back into gold But there's not one heart here that's counting on you At last that blood's run clear That fountain of youth And you'll head home tonight And file your sins smooth again Until the next time you win Until the next time you win I'm not sure when it was Maybe a Thursday? That I realised the real way of things I'd spent so long looking down at my hands Not meeting the eye of the day Shocked and locked and bubbled in grief and tired So tired And for one small moment there was a breeze Some echo from a moment that wasn't here It was light It was free And I thought if I followed Maybe it could take me too And the truth is a torch And a sword Its a fist It's the defiant jaw The hand on hips The superhero stance But the real way of things is old Its slow and deliberate It's everywhere The boot to the ant The hurricane to the hummingbird And it knows no other way but first And it sits at the same backs of those it has always shielded Builds fortress walls and lends the lead weight of history to their silence Until the silence of guilt Becomes the defence Becomes the triumph Tale as old as time How will the tables turn How do we shift this paradigm? And I've read more doubts about me than I've had about myself But I'm still here I'm still tired But I wont stop For now And you? Question for sure But question everything Not just what makes you hurt But what keeps you warm What keeps you full What keeps you quiet And believe her Believe her Believer Before we lose another hummingbird to the wind Before the next time they win Until the next time you win Until the next time you win Until the next time they win Because the next time we win
