Eulogy

In my rearview mirror dreams
I see myself staring back as a kid
Asking whether I believe in all those songs the same way I did

He says
Now you've got a wife and kids
In the scars that life alone can give
Do you still honestly believe that we were meant to live?

It's what the race car drivers say when they press on the gas
It's not the driving fast that kills you, it's the stopping fast
So let this fire only burn with what could never last

Every day I write the eulogy
For everything I used to be
I'm still aiming for a better me
I am the mosaic of a shattered man
Broken and becoming
Broken and becoming who I am

I am a patchwork tapestry of these defeats
Finally admitting I was wrong
All the shattered, ruined dreams that I release
Broken parts of me I thought we're strong
The world I thought was always and forever, and would never go away

Scattered ashes of my past finds that mosaic glue
Only that which has been broken once is fit to use
You're where all my broken parts are finally restitute

Every day I write the eulogy
For everything I used to be
I'm still aiming for a better me
I am the mosaic of a shattered man
Broken and becoming
Broken and becoming who I am
Who I am

The mosaic of a shattered man
In my rear view mirror dreams
In my rear view mirror dreams
I'm forever being born
As even the grave gives birth to green

Every day I write the eulogy
For everything I used to be

Every day I write the eulogy
For everything I used to be
I'm still aiming for a better me
I am the mosaic of a shattered man
Broken and becoming
Broken and becoming who I am
