letra de after the anger (crippling regret no. 2) - the small calamities

Loading...

[verse 1]
i screamed about breaking my heart with punk rock and telephone calls
electric guitars fade to pianos and cars, a gentler jesuit fall
take it one day at a time and bandage the wounds as they come
after the anger comes sadness, and after that i will be numb

[verse 2]
you said you were the queen back in middle school
i guess that should have been a red mark
i said to our friend that i should have ran then, she said, “nah, you already fell hard.”
but i was the prom king in high school–that’s true, even if no-one ever believes me
but after the anger has wilted the willows, i will reign over the leaves

[chorus 1]
every word that i gave you was true
i wish that you meant what you said to me too

[verse 3]
katrina, i know that you’re angry
at this point i’ll never know why
i borrowed your pigment, got lost in a figment or jumped out of september skies
sometimes i just want to call you or see you in sepia tint
but after the anger has rusted the writing, i will erode into print

[verse 4]
i thought about ending my life for the first time since i was a kid
i dove into darkness, i swam and i sank, i did things i’m not proud i did
but i guess i’ll keep holding on and promise that i’ll let you go
after the anger has burned through the forests no one will bask in the glow
[chorus 2]
every ember and moment to grieve
there are things i could say but you wouldn’t believe me

[verse 5]
you were in nightmares i had and for a while it was every day
i’m not gonna lie, i still have them sometimes but mostly i’m sleeping okay
questions i’ll have to accept and pictures and texts that i kept
after the anger has sputtered in silence, sorrow is all there is left

[bridge]
and even if it won’t go away i’ll carry it with me
colors and memories fade buried within me
lidocaine footsteps, fall at the pew
desperately pray for a friday anew
but it’s always you

[verse 6]
but i’ll try to treat this with grace
that’s something you taught me to do
i wished you’d do the same but i know there’s no blame
we all do the best we can do
time will take care of it all, time will heal all of our wounds
after it all will come peace, and i hope the peace will come soon
