    Lyrics:
    why does the earth give us people to love
    then take them away from our reach
    why does the earth make us fill up the church
    when the answers are beneath are feet
    I’ve buried old and young
    I’ve watched them lower a saint
    we’re only waiting our turn
    call that living ?
    why does the earth give us people to love
    then give them a sickness that kills
    why does the earth make us pay for the dirt
    are you saying the dead pay the bills
    I’ve buried old and young
    I’ve watched them lower a saint
    we’re only waiting our turn
    call that living ?
    like aiming arrows at my eye
    scraping the skin off of my thigh
    trained my corneas not to cry
    but they will not obey this time
    no they will not obey this time
    they will not obey this time
    they will not obey this time
    when we could barely read i stood beneath your latest masterpiece
    you collected colored pencils
    and sharpened them when they got weak
    but just when you should sharpen me
    the angels licensed you to leave
    no trace, no teeth
    lead me to the place you sleep
    at the age of seventeen
    your knees were weaker than a cotton sheet
    i was still in disbelief
    the sight of u was vanishing
    we were going to start a band
    hijack my folks minivan
    actualize our silly plans
    the lifelines written in our hands
    i’ll make a promise to u then
    if we can ever sing again
    you sing those high notes high my friend
    i’ll sing the low notes at the end
    i’ll sing the low notes at the end
    Visuals by Santangelo

    It's like Sade if Sade was Nina Simone.

    What a masterpiece. When her voice goes low in the latter parts it’s just killer (no pun intended), especially at the very end.

    Timeless lyrics. Timeless questions asked by Kara Jackson (in the first two verses). Questions that may not have clear answers. Then, the ultimate realization and question in the chorus: "We're only waiting our turn/Call that living?" A stark, beautiful, painful, enchanting song about the helplessness people feel about the loss of someone and how we are constantly reminded of our own mortality and wonder about the ultimate meaning of it all.
