From the recording Ex Nihilo
Lyrics
Protect your black and blues
Cause the rose don’t bend will break
And thorns are good reminders to
Be good for goodness sake
I swam among the reptiles and
Trod flowers dead and dying
And watched your dashed expression
As I told you I AM TRYING
You give and you go
And you make up as you go
I’m the best me I can be
You’ll see, you’ll see, YOU’LL SEE
You rip and you sew
You change lanes and you grow
The best you of yous
Okay you’ll do, you’ll do, YOU’LL DO
The wise man holds the truth in close
But that don’t mean he’s lying
It doesn’t mean you look or touch
Or that you will be buying
The silver saints are bored again
And hear the angels crying
I’ll never find my way up there
But that won’t stop me trying
You give and you go
And you make up as you go
I’m the best me I can be
You’ll see, you’ll see, YOU’LL SEE
You rip and you sew
You change lanes and you grow
The best you of yous
okay you’ll do, you’ll do, YOU’LL DO
