Edison's Medicine (an agnostic's apology)
Thought I knew which way to go
But I don’t, I don’t
Can’t pretend to, anymore
Thought I had this under control
What a bad joke, a sad joke
I’m not laughing, anymore
I buried my first home
seven years ago,
Where only remains remain
But where did her light go?
Thought I was living with your ghost But now I know
Only Absence of light,
remains of shadow
Edison’s medicine has got me down
Edison’s medicine has got me down, again
Where did the time go?
Not measured in days.
Something we could never own
And so we couldn’t save.
But Have I poisoned the gift you gave?
Please Forgive me, mother
I'm so ashamed
It’s not your fault.
People will die,
And you have to try
To let...
It’s not my fault.
People have died and
I've just got to learn to let them go
Let go
But I don’t, I don’t
Can’t pretend to, anymore
Thought I had this under control
What a bad joke, a sad joke
I’m not laughing, anymore
I buried my first home
seven years ago,
Where only remains remain
But where did her light go?
Thought I was living with your ghost But now I know
Only Absence of light,
remains of shadow
Edison’s medicine has got me down
Edison’s medicine has got me down, again
Where did the time go?
Not measured in days.
Something we could never own
And so we couldn’t save.
But Have I poisoned the gift you gave?
Please Forgive me, mother
I'm so ashamed
It’s not your fault.
People will die,
And you have to try
To let...
It’s not my fault.
People have died and
I've just got to learn to let them go
Let go
