Tandem - Protest The Hero[00:00:00]
Everyone knows that Cancer[00:00:05]
Takes bites of every family[00:00:08]
And it eats up families whole[00:00:12]
Dance around the issue[00:00:18]
Take issue with the answers provided[00:00:21]
The past few years radiate with treatment[00:00:25]
But to every day she'll put her cap on and greet them[00:00:28]
She's got demons but you'll never meet them[00:00:32]
Yeah we hope one day that she can finally beat them all[00:00:35]
She laughs for us[00:00:41]
She laughs so we don't worry[00:00:44]
She smiles through the pain[00:00:47]
And keeps the details blurry[00:00:51]
My intentions are not to expose[00:00:57]
The depths of her trouble aren't mine to disclose[00:01:00]
But like evening rain on the petal of a rose[00:01:03]
It drips down to the earth and begins to compose[00:01:07]
And if there's one thing that remains[00:01:11]
So crystal clear to us[00:01:13]
It's that the wandering hands of the gods[00:01:16]
Are so goddamn mysterious[00:01:19]
Like there could be a justification[00:01:26]
For the lives it takes and the lives that it's taken[00:01:32]
This isn't a eulogy[00:01:48]
Or a requiem[00:01:51]
Just some words I've sketched out[00:01:54]
Cause I haven't said them[00:01:56]
This isn't about her father or brother[00:02:01]
Just a few simple words so she knows that I love her[00:02:07]
And tragedy will never disaffect her[00:02:14]
I hope she knows how much I respect her[00:02:21]
My intentions are not to expose in verse or in prose[00:02:50]
The depths of her troubles aren't mine to disclose[00:02:58]
But like evening rain on the petal of a rose[00:03:08]
It drips down to the earth and begins to compose[00:03:11]
A song worth singing[00:03:22]
A wound that keeps on stinging[00:03:29]
And one sinking feeling[00:03:35]
That's always worth clinging onto[00:03:38]
And a stone in a glass house[00:03:42]
That's always worth slinging[00:03:45]
She laughs for us[00:03:59]
She laughs so we don't worry[00:04:02]
She smiles through the pain[00:04:05]
And keeps the details blurry[00:04:09]
My intentions are not to expose[00:04:15]
The depths of her trouble aren't mine to disclose[00:04:18]
But like evening rain on the petal of a rose[00:04:21]
It drips down to the earth and begins to compose[00:04:25]
Saints walk the earth[00:04:30]
They don't patrol the skies[00:04:33]
They're the people right behind you[00:04:37]
Riding tandem through the night[00:04:39]
It's the comfort that's discovered[00:04:42]
Between two sets of eyes[00:04:46]
It's the hand that stills the other[00:04:49]
That shakes like candlelight[00:04:52]
Like candlelight[00:04:56]
