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'm 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 were 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
