there's another side to grievance

from a collection of lost hope by Caitlin Connelly

lyrics

what’s the average cost of something precious that we’ve lost?
it takes us years to even wager half a guess
so, you went north and i drove south to live in someone else’s house
and you found grace in her and words she said

and time becomes the distance that slips gradually between
the last ten years that we have seen and what we see now
and silence is resistance to the path that we have made
that circles back and ‘round again and we can’t step out
so, instead, step down
try to be like Townes
and find some ease in this while we wait around

have i any sense or is it lack of self-respect to love you
even when your best is barely good?
stumbling on, i went to find the kindest accident
so i could find myself in him in other ways, i couldn’t

and no one should imagine what it’s like to harmonize
with your ruthless tell-all lines that bury me
‘cause kindness, when you had it, went so gently to your muse
with her soft nature and views of purity
it’s humbling
it’s an awkward thing
to be at the bottom of everything

if this is what’s been meant for me, then i accept with clarity
the Fates are workin’ hard to keep us bound
i’ve paid my dues, my karma’s free to cycle on with certainty
that better things are gonna come around

so, Heaven, if you’ll have us we would like to stay with you
and play blissfully in tune with what you weave
and we’ll believe in sadness as a necessary tool
not a fundamental rule in finding peace
