lyrics

And with his ear against the door, he could hear the end of their awful shouts
This must mean it’s time to go
Out of the car, into this room made to appear as if he was home
He couldn’t make sense of anything
You see: he felt, even though he was so young, this was his fault
He only wanted to make things right
I wish he’d known his heart was true; he was only doing the best he could
But still this pain stays in his mind
The chemicals, and pathways, it was all too much for him to take
As he gazes at the ceiling

As he drifts to sleep, he dreamed a dream all horrible and approaching
The world has gone and lost its mind
Convenient stores and pharmacies and cell phone towers engulfed in raging flames
Mothers singing this refrain:
“The Nephites climbed out of their homes. The Sons of Laman had been smitten down
And their blood stains this holy ground
And through the storm, a being appeared above all glory I’d ever seen
And he directed this words at me:
‘Serve thy fellow man, forget yourself, give up your cup unto my father;
You’ll get it back once you’ve made it home’”
