Not Yet from Not Yet by Lila Blue

There’s a mountain with graves dug on one side
And the river that runs by it is full of ghosts
Last night I held vigil by their bodies and held their hands
They started screaming ‘cause there wasn’t enough of me to hold

We’ve been given seven paths by seven sons
I can hear them fighting in the streets
Saying that theirs is the right one to walk down
And if you don’t their god will wail forever so you never sleep

I’ve been dreaming about dancing in a crowded room
drenching myself in another’s sweat
I know this dream is something that we cannot do
Not yet, not yet

There’s a taxidermy dog above a fireplace
Wondering if tonight her owner’s had enough to drink
She watches him go to kneel before something he calls god
She wonders if she’s the only one listening to him pray

There’s a mountain with graves dug on one side
On the other the people go about their days
It is painful, tender, messy, and kind
The ghosts tell me if they could go back they wouldn’t have it any other way
The ghosts tell me if they could go back they wouldn’t have it any other way
