All Farewells Should Be Sudden (Acoustic Version) Lyrics by The Anchoress

The Art of Losing (Expanded Edition)

2022

[Verse 1]
Protect me from what I want
God will take what you've got
It's dangerous to place your worth
In measuring how much it hurts
[Chorus]
When it's over at its so-called end
Will we fold and do it all again?
Now I'm older and I'm a pragmatist
But I'm told that this is not an exit
[Verse 2]
There's no need to feign
Our goodbyes, I'm to blame
If purgatory does not exist
Do you compromise your avarice?
[Chorus]
When it's over at its so-called end
Will we fold and do it all again?
Now I'm older and I'm a pragmatist
But I'm told that this is not an exit
[Verse 3]
Last lines, no contest
Sycophants, do your best
It's hard to say just what was worse
Watching now as you go first
[Chorus]
When it's over at its so-called end
Will we fold and do it all again?
Now I'm older and I'm a pragmatist
But I'm told that this is not an exit
[Bridge]
And when it's ovеr and at its so-called end
Oh, will we fold and wе'll do it all again?
And now I'm older and I'm a pragmatist
But I am told that, oh, this is not an exit
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
So head down and do your best
Try to feign no interest
It's dangerous to judge yourself
Through the eyes of someone else
[Outro]
Do your best
My father said
The child is dead
I am death
