about

The liminal time of grieving. This song is dedicated to the grievers and those who have been indoctrinated as STARTHROWERS. Humans who reach out to others with kindness to save them from despair.

lyrics

Door’s always open and the door’s always broken
Don’t know how to fix it anyway

We’ll welcome you in
We’ll make you feel at home
Even though we’ll never feel that way

All things possible, nothing’s safe
World’s can crumble in an instant
Now you’re stuck here
Just trying to survive
In the house of the living

When he who hung the moon goes away
When he who hung the moon goes away
It’s gonna be (it’s gonna be alright)
It’s gonna be (there’s gonna be no tide for awhile)
It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be just fine
It’s gonna be
Gonna be such a long dark night

Put on your uniform, get to church
And pray those questions no one hears
Come on home, sing with you sisters
Sing for your mother, dear

Get down to the ocean
You’ll see the light reflecting
You better jump in and start swimming
Now you’re stuck here
Just trying to survive
In the land of the living

When he who hung the moon goes away
When he who hung the moon goes away
It’s gonna be (it’s gonna be alright)
It’s gonna be (there’s gonna be no tide for awhile)
It’s gonna be,, it’s gonna be just fine
It’s gonna be
Gonna be such a long dark night

Before it's a bright bright day again
Before you feel the sunshine on your face again
But you’re going to feel the sunshine on your face again

And it’s been such a long time since he went away
Always close the the ache
But you’re not afraid of the wave that breaks
Anymore

We are starthrowers
We are ghost holders
We are child growers
We are both world knowers now

We are starthrowers
We are ghost holders
We are child growers
We are both world knowers now
