lyrics

You’ve got a heart that’s heavy like a suitcase at the airport that you wish you could leave behind
And every thought in your head is a piece of stale bread on the kitchen counter of your life
You catch yourself in the mirror trying to stand up straight
You exhale, your shoulders, they fold
And every song that you sing faintly rings of a story you’ve already told

But this too shall pass
Albeit like a kidney stone
This too shall pass
Like a freight train riding through the snow
This too shall pass, so slow, it don’t seem steady
Sadness it don’t leave you till its ready

I had a dream last night that I lost all my teeth and I was falling down a bottomless well
I awoke in fright in the middle of the night
What it meant yeah I couldn’t tell
So I went to the kitchen to make some coffee
The whole house it started to shake
A hole cracked in the floor and I fell once more and realized I wasn’t awake

But this too shall pass
Thought it may feel like a double dream
This too shall pass
Don’t you pay no mind to what it means
This too shall pass, so slow, so steady
Sadness it don’t leave you, sadness it don’t leave you
Sadness it don’t leave you till it’s ready

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off. felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery. thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness
