“Two Gods” Lyrics

“I mean, seriously, it was the Denver Night,
and all you could think to do was die?
But, man, seriously – I mean, man – look at me…
well, OK, maybe so did I.”
You get numb and the numbness feels fine.
Become brothers, and brothers fight.
But always remember the grace of surrender –
the storm with the city inside

As if one god stood before us, and we somehow got around him,
the sun was still so sky-high on the new side of the mountain.
As if one god asked for nothing, knowing nothing we could give her,
and we, sun set off the mountain, saw a far side of the river.

“What, in all honesty, in the soil or the sea – what on earth
could you be you looking for?”
“Well, I… it’s not that running away south ever solved me
any problems – but it always did keep my skin warm.
“And dreaming to the west?” “Never earned me a head.
But it always did keep my skin cool.”
The Big Fish said: “You won’t find a better place.”
You replied: “I don’t expect to.”

As if one god stood before us, and we somehow got around him,
the sun was still so sky-high on the new side of the mountain.
As if one god asked for nothing, knowing nothing we could give her,
and we, sun set off the mountain, saw a far side of the river.

“Keep your head up,” they said.
“Keep your love in your breath.
The days only get longer from here.”
Two gods before you as you stepped to the edge of the year.
