Eulogy
by Jon Foreman

Album: In Bloom

Verse 1
In my rearview mirror dreams
I see myself staring back as a kid
Asking whether I believe in all those songs the same way I did
He says, "now you've got a wife and kids
In the scars that life alone can give
Do you still honestly believe that we were meant to live

Pre-Chorus
It's what the race car drivers say when they press on the gas
It's not the driving fast that kills you, it's the stopping fast
So let this fire only burn with what could never last

Chorus
Every day I write the eulogy
For everything I used to be
I'm still aiming for a better me
I am the mosaic of a shattered man
Broken and becoming, broken and becoming who I am

Verse 2
I am a patchwork tapestry of these defeats
Finally admitting I was wrong
All the shattered, ruined dreams that I release
Broken parts of me I thought were strong
The world I thought was always and forever, and would never go away

Pre-Chorus
Scattered ashes of my past finds that mosaic glue
Only that which has been broken once is fit to use
You're where all my broken parts are finally restitute

Chorus
Every day I write the eulogy
For everything I used to be
I'm still aiming for a better me
I am the mosaic of a shattered man
Broken and becoming, broken and becoming who I am

Bridge
Who I am, the mosaic of a shattered man
In my rear view mirror dreams
In my rear view mirror dreams
I'm forever being born
As even the grave gives birth to green

Chorus
Every day I write the eulogy
For everything I used to be
Every day I write the eulogy
For everything I used to be
I'm still aiming for a better me
I am the mosaic of a shattered man
Broken and becoming, broken and becoming who I am
