Jason Isbell - 24 Frames lyrics

This is how you make
Yourself vanish into nothing
And this is how you make yourself
Worthy of the love that she
Gave to you back when you
Didn’t own a beautiful thing

This is how you make
Yourself call your mother
And this is how you make
Yourself closer to your brother
And remember him back when he was
Small enough to help you sing

You thought God was an architect
Now you know
He’s something like a pipe bomb ready to blow
And everything you built that’s all for
Show goes up in flames in 24 frames

This is how you see yourself
Floating on the ceiling
And this is how you help her
When her heart stops beating
What happened to the part of you
That noticed every changing wind

And this is how you talk to her
When no one else is listening
And this is how you help her
When the muse goes missing
You vanish so she can go
Drowning in a dream again

You thought God was an architect
Now you know
He’s something like a pipe bomb ready to blow
And everything you built that’s all for
Show goes up in flames in 24 frames

You thought God was an architect
Now you know
He’s sitting in a black car ready to go
You made some new friends after the show
But, you’ll forget their names in 24 frames
In 24 frames
