Northern Towns

Attack In Black

Make it so the handsome way of what never was 
turns to overcast what has become 
so away with that which makes a moment so discreet 
we hesitate, ashamed to really laugh or really weep 

maybe man is worth the weight of what his eyes have seen maybe there's a branch of wonder left here to believe 
there are places with horizons above a level ground 
a man's as much as the love he leaves 
behind in northern towns 

make it so what makes us mindful without reprimand 
fall behind the eyes of every man 
if the story of our lives becomes 
our sufferings penned and left 
begin to recount every time you ever really wept
