Tears (In The Shadow Of His Teacher)
© 2013 Ambush Hymnal (SESAC)

No good time
When the one you love is leavin
Who in their right mind
Has a reason to believe
That they’ll do fine
He got everything he needs and all the empty spaces beckon and call

10 to 9
he’ll be running late again this morning
rain or shine
he ain’t making no apologies
it ain’t a crime
to drink another night away
when all the angry ghosts they cling to the walls

he’d forgotten
he’ll be dreaming for a thousand years
of how she taught him
how to shower the eternal in his tears

in the shadow of his teacher he cried tears

he remembers
when he saw her for the first time
with her face like embers
burning out into the morning air
there’s nothing left now
but the smell of her perfume
on someone’s unmade bed, and a key on the floor

she burned heaven
to try to show him how to reach her
but then no one set him up
to lay him any lower than right here

in the shadow of his teacher he cried tears
