Forming Angels

from Terra Firma by Our Twilight Pastime

/

about

Forming Angels was written for my friend Kristen (who did the artwork for Drunken Sailors, and whose name appears in this song). She was going through a rough time in her life, and this song served as a message to say "your friends are still here for you."

The message of having the people in your life be a positive influence through uneasy times seems to be a running theme for Our Twilight Pastime. But, honestly, I don't mind one bit. It's true!

lyrics

I’m picking the pieces off the ground
of shattered words and broken sounds;
I’m tired of walking with these bloody footprints.
Your life just always trails behind
the sense of suffering you find
always replaces your good intentions.

We’ve got a thing in common now:
we’re always trying to find out how to make ourselves
look worse to us;
so come with me somewhere between
this sense of loneliness and fading dreams.

So please just remember, in this cruel, cold December,
that even if your heart’s left out in the snow
you’ve got friends among the changes, forming angels
to protect you from the cold.

We never know just what to do
because we always see in blue, getting choked-up
from our bad decisions.
We had a run-in with the nurse,
and taken a turn for the worse; but bandages
just led to our revisions.

And now you know I’ll be right here, Kristen,
nothing to fear. If you need the courage I’ll support you.
Come with me somewhere between
this sense of loneliness and fading dreams.
