What a Time to Be Alive Lyrics by Brother Moses

Apocalypse Football

0

You used to hold me close in an ignorant bliss
I was starry-eyed, you were lemon-kissed
Now I interrogate the memories, looking for signs
Were you ever here?
Was this ever mine?
I woke up from a dream where I flew out of my window
All of my screens are laughing at me now
Sometimes in the night I still hear your voice in my ear
"What a time to be alive"
Searching for a purpose, bleeding out slow
Told you I was scared of thе undertow
Told me flip the rеcord, Dylan might know
You have a way to make everything feel small
Everyone our age has moved away
Watch our city burn from our fire escape
The sirens in the night are terrifying
But in the morning glow, don't you feel divine
I can't seem to get you out of my mind
What a time to be alive
Every step I take you're further behind
What a time to be alive
Found you in the forest
Trembling cold with fear
Tried to write a chorus
But the voices left my ears
Your silence was a virtue
Til it drowned me in its name
Still I'm down on my knees
Begging for your rain
Now that I can't hear you
How do I think straight
Blessed be the lonely
That don't give in to their hate
I wanted a love
That could tear me down to size
But you gave me a heart
That was broken in your eyes
What a time to be alive
Sometimes in the night I still hear you say
What a time to be alive
Hail Mary in the distance, show me your face
What a time to be alive
