about

"A song about the gravity of suicide and the grace of surviving."

lyrics

Time for the show
It’s 'bout to start
Where did you go
Who’ll play your part

We'll sound out of tune
In this empty room

Go on ahead
Save me a seat
In the break for act two
I know how we’ll meet, I’ll look for your bowtie

The wince on your face
Disguising the pain
To play with such grace
Words cannot contain

The loss that was you
I hope these chords do

Bowtie, Bowtie

Who knew what to say, what to speak
Well we might if you told us last week
An embrace and a peck on the cheek
Anyone know how to tie a bowtie

Bowtie

Dressed all in black
The lights start to dim
Elegiac
And humming our hymn

The playbill suggests
A concerto of tied whole note rests,
Drowning in silence, impeccably dressed in our bowties

Bowties
