Beautiful despair is hearing Dylan
when you're drunk at 3 am.
Knowing that the chances are
no matter what
you'll never write like him.
Oh Brother

Beautiful despair is why you lean into
this world without restraint.
Cause somewhere out before you
lies the masterpiece
you'd sell your soul to paint.
Oh Brother
What do we laugh or cry

Beautiful despair is slouching forward
toward a past you might regret.
All to suck the marrow out
of every magic moment that you get.
Beautiful despair is playing safe
when you were once a rebel child
Knowing that tomorrow comes
and all you've done is last another mile
Oh Brother,
Oh Dear Brother,
Oh My Brother,
What shall we drink or dry
