In Utero​/​In a Picture

from Basement Tapes by Two-Headed Boy

/

lyrics

It is well
only today and just for a moment
but it was and He Is
and I am well aware of it now

Some pictures I took didn't take, some dirty or poorly lit
They were of a lost sister whose brother's deceased but I was reminded that these moments are not ours to capture

They are given
graciously handed over and let loose
but still not totally mine or yours
or really anyone's

to take

and to run away
it is futile/useless

all pictures burn up eventually
and falling as they do
from our hands
even when we don’t want to lose hold

we are lost

this is our worst fear
that our lives would be forgotten
or that our loves would be captured
or that we would lose our sanity and
composure

and lose all track of time.

I am reminded sometimes
that I don’t have to remember everything
or hold onto images in my head
of a dancing and twirling girl in the field

wounded as she is

I am reminded that it is okay to sleep
and to forget

and to wake up.
