Lamentation vs. Laughter - John Davis (of Superdrag) - LYRIC VIDEO

March 4, 2013 update: Nick Raskulinecz is recording some new music with John Davis, best known as the frontman for Superdrag. This inspired me to revisit this tragically overlooked release from 2007.

LYRICS:
Now you know the deal
It's hard to realize
Anything we feel
Is easily marginalized

Every step
Farther along
Feels alright for a time
But it comes out wrong

We still trespass
We still transgress
We are whited sepulchers
Or something less

Without you
All of this means nothing
And everything we do
At the best of times
Amounts to nothing

Now we know the way
How close can we follow
Lifted up today
Left to drop tomorrow

Every step
Farther down
The wider path
Makes a lonelier sound

So every man
Woman and child
Let your love grow wild
Let your love grow wild

Without you
All of this means nothing
And everything we do
At the best of times
Amounts to nothing

Am I making myself understood?
And does it matter?
Evil versus good
Lamentation versus laughter

Making all things new
Making all things new
Making all things new
Making all things new
Making all things new
Making all things new
