Exodus Lyrics - Jesu/sun Kil Moon - Jesu

Showed up to Heathrow today 

For the 2000th time 

Got in my taxi and I learned Nick Cave's son died 

The news hit me like a bus into a hill 

Cause once at the K-west hotel, I met him and his son, they were standing across the hall 

I mentioned to him how we both played Hultsfred in 1997 

I don't believe in God, but sometimes I hope there's Heaven 

The bad news hurt to hear, and it hurts to repeat, it's just sad news and I'm sorry to even speak it 

I was on my way home from Peru this past March 

Virgin airlines, row 23, and I watched '20, 000 Days on Earth' and it inspired me 

I'm very much me 

And Nick Cave is very much 'He' 

But we're the same in that we're both songwriters and we don't stop moving- we're like waves in the sea 

I remember seeing 'Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth' 

He spoke about the passing of his daughter Exodus, and how he joined "The Bereaved Parents Group." 

He knew when he arrived at her bed 

That he was not alone 

Because the parents of the other children embraced him 

And they cried in the hospital 

And I remembered when Danielle Steele 

Lost her son at only 19 years old to an overdose on heroin 

And on his bedroom window 

Still remains the sticker he put there of The Misfits 

Every time I walk past her home on Washington St. I look up and I glance at it 

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love 

Parents survive their children 

Its a pain very few know of 

My cousin Carissa's 

My friends Chris's, Brett's, and Dennis's 

And my ex-girlfriend Katy's mom and dad 

All became apart of the family of bereaved parents 

And when my father was young 

He lost his older brother Lenny 

His mom and dad joined the bereaved parents group 

My dad looks down on the ground and gets quiet whenever I mention his name 

When my little second cousin Carissa died 

My mother called me, it had been so long since I'd heard that certain cry 

Not since the day she divorced my father 

But they're friendly now so with that story I'd rather not bother. But I flew out there and we gathered in the living room 

We all shared stories of a person of whom different amounts of depth we knew 

The coffee table was filled with prescription drugs 

Carissa's puppy laid at my feet and I gave Carissa's mom a hug 

And she sat motionless as if there was no air 

She was in a world of her own in that chair 

She was the one who gave birth to Carissa and raised her- All we could do for her was be there 

It's been two years and I know that for her some days are better, but the loss of a child has to be the hardest thing to bare 

The loss of a child is something no parent is prepared 

The loss of a child is simply unfair 

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love 

And parents outlive their children is the cruelest cut 

For all bereaved parents- I know that I don't know, but the pain has to be the worst nightmare of (?) 

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love 

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love 

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love 

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love 

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love 

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love 

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love 

For all bereaved parents- I sent you my love 

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love 

For all bereaved parents- I send you my love
