Exodus

I showed up to Heathrow today
For the 2000th time
Got into my taxi and I learned
Nick Cave’s son died
The news hit me like a bus into a hill
'cause once at the K West Hotel
I met him and his son
They were standing across the hall
And I mentioned to him how be both played Hultsfred 1997
I don’t believe in god but sometimes I hope there’s heaven
The bad news hurt to hear and it hurts to repeat
It’s just sad news and I’m sorry to even speak it
I was on my way home from Perth this past March, Virgin Airlines, row 23
And I watched '20,000 Days On Earth', and it inspired me
I’m very much me
And Nick Cave is very much he
But we are the same in that we are both songbirds and that we don’t stop moving
We’re like waves in the sea
I remember seeing Mike Tyson’s 'Undisputed Truth'
He spoke about the passing of his daughter Exodus and how he joined the
bereaved parents group
He knew when he arrived at her bed, that he was not alone
Because the parents of the other children embraced him and they cried together
in the hospital room
And I remember when Danielle Steel lost her son
At only 19-years-old to an overdose on heroin
And on his bedroom window still remains the sticker he put there, 'The Misfits'
Every time I walk past her home on Washington Street I look up and I glance at
it
For all bereaved parents
I send you my love
When parents survive their children it’s a pain
That very few know of
My cousin Carissa’s and my friends Chris' and Brett’s and Dennis'
And my ex-girlfriend Katy’s mom and dad
All became part of the family of bereaved parents
And when my father was young, he lost his older brother Lenny
His mom and dad joined the bereaved parents group
My dad looks down on the ground and gets quiet whenever I mention his name
When my little second cousin Carissa died
My mother called me and it had been so long since I heard that certain cry
Not since the day she divorced my father
But they’re friendly now, so with that story I’d rather not bother
But I flew out there and we gathered in the living room
And we all shared stories of a person of whom different amounts of depth we knew
The coffee table was filled with prescription drugs
Carissa’s puppy laid at my feet and I gave Carissa’s mom a hug
And she sat motionless as if there was no air
She was in a world all her own in that chair
She was the one who gave birth to Carissa and raised her
All we would do for her was be there
And it’s been two years and I know that for her some days are better
But the loss of a child has to be the hardest things to bear
The loss of a child is something that no parent is prepared
The loss of a child is simply unfair
For all bereaved parents
I send you my love
When parents outlive their children
It’s the cruelest cut
For all bereaved parents
I know
That I don’t know
But the pain has to be the worst nightmare blow
For all bereaved parents
I send you my love
For all bereaved parents
I send you my love
