lyrics

On days like today
I don't find any words
There are plenty of them out there
But none of those are mine
And none of those are yours
The words you need to hear from me cannot be
On days like today
All poetry and otherwise
Runs dry

There are verbal procedures
For days like today
The right words to say
In the worst of times
And I can't hold you across an ocean
So I have told you those same old inadequate lines

But what I wish is that the cities to the coastlines would fall silent
For a moment
For you
As if none of it all would ever sound any more
Then start up again together in a furious roar
That might cushion your cries as you let them outside
A unity howl for your rage to ride
But most of all I wish that I could make this stop
Most of all I wish that I could make this not.
