From the recording Anthrophony
Lyrics
Oh hard times
They’re creeping in
A weight in the bones, love
All the lights seem dim
A second takes a drag
A minute fills both lungs
Opaque’s the norm now
The worst seems yet to come
Every beat feels heavy
A pulse that weighs a ton
The tunnel’s always darkest, love
Just before the light seeps in
But don’t forget you’re not alone
Months in the trenches
Clawing your way home
I’ll keep the hearth warm
And I’ll stoke your guiding light
Oh I love you
Every little thing’s gonna be alright
Shakey with dismay
Daunted by mundane
Every moment reached for
Just seems to slip away
A soul so parched
There’s poison in the well
Who you once were
And who you will become
Looking to reconcile
A fight that goes unwon
Mercy feigns a smile
She’s coming for you soon
But don’t forget you’re not alone
Years of struggle
Have tried you to the bones
I’ll keep the hearth warm
And stoke your guiding light
Oh I love you
Every little thing’s gonna be alright
