about

"Arthur" is a song about the sacrifices we are willing to make to protect the ones that we love. It’s also about the deep pain we have to somehow learn to live with when that’s just not enough. Whether you lost someone recently or have had years to process a loss, navigating grief can be one of the hardest and one of the most beautiful ways we learn about ourselves and come to terms with our own mortality, while also reminding us of the preciousness of each and every fleeting moment we have with the ones that we love. Wherever you may be in that journey, just know you’re not alone.

lyrics

There is no shame

in your first collapse,

the way you fought back,

and when you couldn’t get back up.

the restless ghost

of your holy mischief

forever haunting

the garden where you watched them play.



And I know

This life goes on without us

Your father dreams about it

And I feel

The pain that always breaks through

Your sister dreams about you



there is no throne,

just bravery we can show

the way we fight back

no halo we can earn.

just venom in our blood,

and what we do for love.

Forever haunting

where you gave your life.



And I know

Some nights will try to take us

dear Sara dreams about it

and I feel

the guilt that always breaks through

and I still dream about you
