All Of Everything, Erased Lyrics - Brother's Blood - Kevin Devine

This is the window where 

I watched the future start 

My pupils dilated 

The shock sped up my arms 

I shut my ambushed eyes 

And turned my face towards the heat 

I felt the city choke 

I heard the world at war 

I prayed for providence 

God said, don't pray no more 

You went and made your mess 

Now keep your blame off my feet 

So I got off my knees 

I faced the devil's day 

The sky was murder red 

The streets were headstone gray 

A flaming ferris wheel 

Spun where the sun used to be 

I watched it's buckets dip and dance 

I saw a couple making love lock hands 

They were pushing for abandon and the answers it could bring 

90 million miles from the graveyard growing over everything 

I saw my lover chased 

Through fields of sugarcane 

She clutched her belly close 

And whispered, "keep us safe" 

They ground her down to dust 

No more miracles today 

I dreamt myself awake 

In a resort hotel 

Above a golden coast 

Beside my Southern belle 

We heard the sea reborn 

In each singing shell 

And every coughing car 

And every coiled snake 

And every shrieking star 

And every burning stake 

Dissolved to atmosphere 

All of everything, erased 

I spread into a distant hum 

I droned along with everyone 

And the earth grew green and nursed herself to what she used to be 

All our senseless shouting calmed to quiet in her ancient memory 

And oh, what a joy 

To be free
