GOOD GRIEF

Chorus
They say there’s good grief
But how can you tell it from the bad
Maybe it’s only in the fact
Good grief’s the one that’s in your past.

Verse 1
I got snow in my pockets
went down again head first 
laced drill bits to my pointe shoes 
pirouette through the hardwood to paydirt. 
Night falls, day breaks; time 
has a funny kind of violence and I’m 
tryna keep in mind 
it can’t leave you the way it finds you.
Good grief:
I’ve heard people say it,
what a phrase, what a state to be in
but I don’t know where they go to get get 
that feeling.
Good grief
and my knees stay clean not much for praying
I do my own stunts and my own saving 
but there’s something amiss 
something I been missing maybe maybe.

Chorus

Verse 2
This time my best wasn’t good enough
well, fuck, usually it is
and the air got a little rough
took off the fuselage, an engine, and both wings
but I’m willing to work for this
just show me where to dig
and I’m ready to hurt for this
I know exactly what this is—
Good grief
I want that good grief 
the one that heals me
that leaves me clarified by fire 
when I’m burned clean
tempered by light and heat 
ah, by the dead of morning
I’ll be better for it 
and then fortified I’ll rise.
Bust the hydrant, let it spray champagne
Wings are broken but I feel no pain
It’s real today, I know this feeling, let it rain. 

Chorus

Secrets don’t like to be kept 
all mine jumped over the fence
I guess I should be upset, 
but I’m in my nightgown on the lawn 
thinking, better that they’re gone 
I’ve been afraid of this so long 
it’s a relief when it goes wrong.

Cause I’m here now, and asking 
melt me down, recast me
burn me clean
like glass from 
sandy ground.
