A song about how, in the wake of tragedy, platitudes curdle and grate and fail to offer any sense of hope or relief.
[Verse 1]
I knew this girl when I was young
She took her spikes from everyone
One night she swallowed up the lake
That's how you sing amazing grace
[Refrain]
Amazing grace
Amazing grace
[Verse 2]
It sounds like razors in my ears
That bell's been ringing now for years
Someday I'll give it all away
That's how you sing amazing grace
[Verse 3]
Oh, can you hear that sweet sweet sound
Yeah, I was lost but now I'm found
Sometimes there's nothing left to save
That's how you sing amazing grace
[Refrain]
Amazing grace
Amazing grace
Amazing grace
That's how you sing amazing grace
