La Dispute - You and I In Unison lyrics

What will I find? Some sacred thing To help me handle the tragedy? Or did I once Did I have it and lose it? No one should ever have to walk through the fire alone No one should ever have to brave that storm, no Everybody Needs someone or something And when I sing Don't I sing your name out Right at the same time That I sing my own? Some days, I swear I can feel you Splitting the light through the window frame The shapes it makes Are always warmer, always brighter Than the rest of what comes through Some days, I swear I can hear you sing To me, or whisper my name in the slightest way It's like the warmest light now laid across my bedroom floor Is somehow actually you And not just sunlight I have the memory, climb down the balcony I put a flower on the back of its dress, it's Probably best to forget it It's probably best to let go I paint it the shade of where the skin and the lip meet Only a moment after breaking the kiss, and I blur out everything else That's how I choose to remember it Some nights are a lot like the days, I lay awake too late I watch the shadows cast and trace your shape Those silver slivers on the wall, then on the bedsheets I hear your song in the trees I finally fall into rest Often later when I'm sleeping you show up in my dreams Just doing simple things, like buying groceries, and When I wake up, I could swear you must've just left me Like you got up to get breakfast Or maybe just to get dressed But the truth is You were never there, you won't ever be Sometimes I think I'm not either So what do I do When every day still seems to start and end with you? And you won't ever know You won't ever see How much your ghost since then Has been defining me I leave the memory up atop the balcony I tear this flower from the back of the dress It's best this time, I bet To just forget and let go Paint it the shade of where the lip bleeds and blur it out I blur out everything else Just blur out everything else And let go, and let go, and let go Everybody has to let go someday Everybody has to let go I wonder when I will, I wonder But if I still hear you singing in every city I'm in After I blur it all out, our every memory, if You never fade with the days, your shape still haunting me then Should I not just sing along? Should I not just sing along? I will sing sweetly Hope that the notes change but I do not need it to happen I'm not resigned to it And if they never do I'll sing your name in every line Just like I did throughout this Just like I've always done In every gun, the empty church And every tortured son In all those giving up In all those giving in Until I die I will sing our names in unison Until I die I will sing our names in unison Until I die, until I
