"Slide" lyrics - JOE HENRY

Oh, cursed morning-
Who told you to rise?
When time's a sliding mask that may still
Roll back with our eyes
Oh, blessed falling
Crawling into night-
I'm learning more than I intended
Try not to though I might

No angels walk with me
All angels ride-
I give up my ghost for thee
And we will forever slide

Oh, take my shoulders
And square them to the wind-
Go knock upon the mountain
To be let out or in
Moving where someone else has wandered
The dead trip into light-
We're learning more than we intended
Try not to though we might

No angels walk with me
All angels ride-
I give up my ghost for thee
And we will forever slide

We roll and tumble
Rattle, shake, and hum-
We're dying to be other
But we kill not to become
Grief sides with glory
They laugh deep into the night-
Learning more than they intended
Try not to though they might

No angels walk with me
All angels ride-
I give up my ghost for thee
And we will forever slide
