Lyrics for Irreversible Damage
Ah, ah (mhm), ah Mm, mm Yeah Ah, ah When you were thinking about irreversible damage When I was thinking about irreversible damage? In that conversation? Um I guess I was, I was thinking about parts of myself I was thinking about dreams I had had Visions I had for myself, for my life Um, hopes A belief even in, like, love And dreams coming true A belief in, in like I can I can like heal my way out of a place Even to say I don't feel that way anymore I think that my understanding of those things Drastically changed after massive Massive loss And that like, with massive major loss And like the deepest, deepest grief Something just like shatters Something shattered in me, I suppose And it was like, when you get shattered into a million pieces Like, what do you do? Like, what-what can you do when you shatter pieces? But can they come back together? And, you know, I, I imagine, some of those pieces, yeah Like you can like pick them up and like build them into something new But some of those pieces, you know, are so obliterated That I think, like, they're just gone, and there's no coming back And that's like how when you were talking about the grasslands You know, when like you spend time there You're very aware of how beautiful it is You know, how wild it is But the more time you spend there And the more you learn about history of land You learn more about how completely devastated it's been Completely destroyed (that will happen) There's been such mass extinction there, you know, that like No matter how much we try to restore it or protect it now It'll never ever go back to where it was, ever It's, it's gone, well, what it was is gone But, you know, when you're standing there In, you know Big Sky Country It's as wild as wild gets In some of those places, you know? And there is no separation between you and God You know, you're standing in that land (right) And you see like even despite all the devastation It's still beautiful, it's still wild, it's still alive (You were saying) well, you know, I I might have misunderstood the mass devastation I might, I might have been thinking that You can bring it back to life, yes (to see everything) (You say to see it as it is) to see it as it is
