The Blessing Curse

I got robbed today
He put a gun up to my chest
And would not go away
Til' he had everything
But he did not leave with everything
Cause I've got things you cannot steal

Her brother's coming home
It's been too long
He fell too far
But mended bones
Do not fix everything
But we can heal, I must believe
That we have things this world can never steal

Maybe getting what you want is a blessing
Cause you may find that it can sting and it can burn
What if it's just a hint of all that you are missing?
Getting what you want is both the blessing and the curse

Folks can't believe my job
But dying never stops
So I keep building boxes to put it in
But the life already said goodbye to grief and sin
And it rose up like a ghost
The love, the joy
The chosen soul still holds the things
That death can never steal
