about

meant as a response to the Relative song "Guilt is Hope" some 15 years later, and I hope, wiser.

lyrics

are these the same eyes
that once looked up with wonder
at the ever changing skies?
and are these the same hands
that once laid stone
to build something tangible on this land?
is this just growing old
or can we hope for something better
than our parents chose?
because this was not our plan
but sometimes you just have to work from where you stand
so lets start laying stone
instead of digging ourselves into deeper holes

I'm sorry I said that guit is hope
I did not know
The foundation just gets deeper
as addictions grow
I did not know
We built ourselves a life
of brown and bitter spite
and we did not mind
We opened up the veins
of our young and hopeful eyes
and we did not mind

But I can't live this way anymore...

If I apologize for leaving you behind
Would you apolgize for dying?
In that winter that you felt such discontent
and drank yourself to death

I got your message
not in a bottle, it came in a dream
i know there's nothing I could have done
to save your life
in this or any timeline
