Kintsugi

There's a certain point the body can't come back from In one year, we've learned the turn of the mouth The depth that the chest cavity takes Chucky was there for three out of three I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be There for the one who was closest to me But I can't say I run when things get hard It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart But I've had to let it break a little more 'Cause they say that's what it's for [Chorus] That's how the light shines in That's how the light shines in That's how the light gets in (Mm-mm) [Verse 2] So everyone was there, they were standin', laughin' And I'm on the side with my tears streamin' down There's somethin' about the clutch of the wrist He thought mine was his to carve into his mouth We've only got hours And I just can't stop cryin' 'cause all of the ways When you see someone dyin' You see all your days flash in front of you And you think about who would be with you And then there's Donoghue [Bridge 1] Daddy, I miss them I'm in the mountains I'm probably runnin' away from the feelings I get When I think all the things about them Daddy, I miss them I'm at the Roadrunner Café I'm probably runnin' away from the thoughts in the day I'd have things to do with them, but they say [Chorus] "That's how the light gets in That's how the light gets in That's how the light gets in" [Verse 3] Think by the third of March, I was cracked open Finally, the ground was cold, they wouldn't open Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me There's a name for it in Japanese, it's "Kintsugi" They sang folk songs from the '40s Even the fourteen-year old knew "Froggie Came A-Courtin" How do my blood relatives know all of these songs? I don't know anyone left to know songs that I sing [Chorus] That's how the light gets in That's how the light gets in [Bridge 2] But daddy, I miss them I'm at the Roadrunner Café Probably runnin' away from the feelings today In the snow-capped mountains of the desert Daddy, I miss them I'm in the mountains Probably runnin' away, I've been meaning to say That there's nothing to do except know that this is [Outro] How the light gets in Like cracking, the light gets in It's how the light gets in That's how the light gets in That's how the light gets in Then you're golden, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Just another folk song, but anyway I try so hard, but that's okay It's how the light gets in It's how the light gets in It's how the light gets in
