A Message To My Wife

You deserve so much more than a half-baked song
Especially on an album so indulgently long
And I tried my best I swear but I came up empty

And maybe
That's because the best of art comes from
Lacerations of the heart but our love
Is not the kind you'd write in your stories
Nah it's the best kind of boring

That's not to say it's not been hard
Oh I've been rumbling around here in the dark
I abseiled down to hell and you went with me

And so I love you, but please note
This next song's not about you at all
In fact if anybody else out there's still listening
It's probably for you I'm singing
