All Farewells Should Be Sudden by The Anchoress Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Protect me from what I want
God will take what you've got
It's dangerous to place your worth
In measuring how much it hurts

[Chorus]
When it's over
At its so-called end
Will we fold and do it all again?
Now I'm older, I'm a pragmatist
But I'm told that this is not an exit

[Verse 2]
There's no need to feign our goodbyes
I'm to blame
If purgatory does not exist
Do you compromise your avarice?

[Chorus]
When it's over
At its so-called end
Will we fold and do it all again?
Now I'm older and I'm a pragmatist
But I'm told that this is not an exit
[Verse 3]
Last lines, no contest
Sycophants do your best
It's hard to say just what was worse
Watching now as you go first

[Chorus]
When it's over
At its so-called end
Will we fold and do it all again?
Now I'm older, and I'm a pragmatist
But I'm told that this is not an exit

[Bridge]
And when it's over
And at its so-called end
Oh will we fold or do it all again?
And now I'm older, and I'm a pragmatist
But I'm told that no
This is not an exit

[Verse 4]
So head down, and do your best
Try to feign no interest
It's dangerous to judge yourself
Through the eyes of someone else
[Outro]
Do your best...
My father said
The child is dead
And I am death
