24 Frames - Jason Isbell

This is how you make yourself vanish into nothing

And this is how you make yourself worthy of the love that she

Gave to you back when you didn’t own a beautiful thing

This is how you make yourself call your mother

And this is how you make yourself closer to your brother

And remember him back when he was small enough to help you sing

You thought God was an architect, now you know

He’s something like a pipe bomb ready to blow

And everything you built that’s all for show goes up in flames

In 24 frames

This is how you see yourself floating on the ceiling

And this is how you help her when her heart stops beating

What happened to the part of you that noticed every changing wind

And this is how you talk to her when no one else is listening

And this is how you help her when the muse goes missing

You vanish so she can go drowning in a dream again

You thought God was an architect, now you know

He’s something like a pipe bomb ready to blow

And everything you built that’s all for show goes up in flames

In 24 frames

You thought God was an architect, now you know

He’s sitting in a black car ready to go

You made some new friends after the show

But you’ll forget their names
