Kintsugi

There's a certain point the body can't come back from

In one year we've learned the turn of the mouth

The depth that the chest cavity takes

Chucky was there for three out of three

I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be

There for the one who was closest to me

But I can't say I'd run when things get hard

It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart

But I've had to let it break a little more

'Cause they say that's what it's for

That's how the light shines in

That's how the light shines in

That's how the light gets in

Mm-mm

So everyone was there they were standin' laughin'

And I'm on the side with my tears streamin' down

There's somethin' about the clutch of the wrist

He thought mine was his to carve into his mouth

We've only got hours

And I just can't stop cryin' 'cause all of the ways

When you see someone dyin'

You see all your days flash in front of you

And you think about who would be with you

And then there's Donoghue

Daddy I miss them

I'm in the mountains

I'm probably runnin' away from the feelings I get

When I think all the things about them

Daddy I miss them

I'm at the Roadrunner Café

I'm probably runnin' away from the thoughts in the day

I'd have things to do with them but they say

That's how the light gets in

That's how the light gets in

That's how the light gets in

Think by the 3rd of March I was cracked open

Finally the ground was cold they wouldn't open

Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me

There's a name for it in Japanese it's "Kintsugi"

They sang folk songs from the '40s

Even the fourteen-year old knew "Froggie Came A-Courtin"

How do my blood relatives know all of these songs

I don't know anyone left to know songs that I sing

That's how the light gets in

That's how the light gets in

But daddy I miss them

I'm at the Roadrunner Café

Probably runnin' away from the feelings today

In the snow-capped mountains of the desert

Daddy I miss them

I'm in the mountains

Probably runnin' away I've been meaning to say

That there's nothing to do except know that this is

How the light gets in

Like cracking the light gets in

It's how the light gets in

That's how the light gets in

That's how the light gets in

Then you're golden ah ah ah ah ah ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Just another folk song but anyway

I try so hard but that's okay

It's how the light gets in

It's how the light gets in

It's how the light gets in ^[1]
