Richard Buckner - Beautiful Question lyrics

Shattered as I saw you then Fallen from the weight Of undue excuses Settled with your handles Too many that were made As the ties unravelled Out of the night Hushing away What no-one seemed to mention While asking us why We can explain Such a beautiful question Saved at the height of the closing The caption should say ‘He doesn't know where he's going' Coming at the heels of Returning to your ways Chasing empty reasons None of the lives You left in the wake As the draw-downs had ended Gathered in spite your story remains Such a beautiful question
