Tragedy
Words and Music by Patrick Harnish
And you remember the twins
As they broke and fell.
You remember the Georgian soil
Spilling out the dead.
And you've gotta' believe
That you're a tragedy as well.
Just like a million angels
Knew it as they fell.
And you're Oklahoma City
When it's blessing were all gone.
You're a boat that's on the water
But not for very long.
And you're David
Burning at the fire.
And you're Oswald.
Or the G-Men that conspired.
And you've gotta' believe
That you're a tragedy as well.
You've gotta' believe in me.
Lord because angels fall so well.
And it's a long
Way to the bottom.
Yeah.
It's a long wait to be
Forgotten.
You're a plane with one direction
You only travel down.
You're a star with no reflection
Buried in the ground.
You're a queen who loved her girls
So you bathed in all their blood.
You are every skeleton
Washed up in the mud.
And you've gotta' believe that you're a tragedy as well.
You've gotta believe in me.
I keep a place for you in hell.
And you're madness at inception
And you're bent on dealing death.
You're a mouth stained by deception
You've got knives in your healing hands.
You're the ones that danced and wondered
If the sound they heard was guns?
Now you dance forever
And the death one dealt is done.
And you've gotta' believe
That you're a tragedy as well.
You've gotta' believe in me.
I keep a place for you in hell.
And it's a long way to the bottom.
Yeah.
It's a long wait to be forgotten.
Yeah.
