Beautiful Despair

Beautiful despair is hearing Dylan when you're drunk at 3 a.m
 Knowing that the chances are no matter what you'll never write like him
 Oh, brother
 Beautiful despair is why you lean into this world without restraint
 'Cause somewhere out before you lies
 The masterpiece you'd sell your soul to paint
 Oh, brother
 What do we laugh or cry?

 Beautiful despair is slouching forward toward a past you might regret
 All to suck the marrow out of every magic moment that you get
 Beautiful despair is playing safe when you once were a rebel child
 Knowing that tomorrow comes and all you've done is last another mile
 Oh, brother
 Oh, dear brother
 Oh, my brother
 What shall we drink or dry?
