Lyrics

Grateful Song

From {Awayland}2013

Written by Conor O’Brien

Produced by Conor O’Brien, Tommy McLaughlin

Lyrics

Grateful Song

The lights my sweet conviction Your time has finally come Though your home is no place to speak of It gave you the courage to run I am grateful for your company And I am grateful to belong And I am thankful for the misery From which I stole this grateful song Partly written out of habit Partly written out of me With a blind and bold ambition For it is so this grateful scene May I call on you if I fucked her? If I seek to be something that I'm not If I forego a love for my brothers and my sisters With a pledge of allegiance to god A god of pain A god of tragedy A god of hatred and deceit A god of haveless(?), helpless agony A god I know I'll never meet
