The Reckoning Lyrics
One October just came around
Just to shake the sky and move the ground
Just to strongly insist the wind should up and change
And it knocked down walls and bridges too
And it reached more people than we knew
And it left with nothing really
Left the same
You called it the reckoning
And your voice came through unquestioning
You said the universe is trembling
Don't ya know, don't ya know?
Cause you felt it coming long before
I walked you through your own front door
And I spent just a one night on your floor
For a few nights in a row
Change ain't so sudden
It just hides as it's coming
Is this change or fruition
Of some hope and ambition?
Is this all repercussions?
Was this grown out of something
That we cursed, that we prayed for
That we knew we could wait for?
Just to shake the sky and move the ground
Just to strongly insist the wind should up and change
And it knocked down walls and bridges too
And it reached more people than we knew
And it left with nothing really
Left the same
You called it the reckoning
And your voice came through unquestioning
You said the universe is trembling
Don't ya know, don't ya know?
Cause you felt it coming long before
I walked you through your own front door
And I spent just a one night on your floor
For a few nights in a row
Change ain't so sudden
It just hides as it's coming
Is this change or fruition
Of some hope and ambition?
Is this all repercussions?
Was this grown out of something
That we cursed, that we prayed for
That we knew we could wait for?
You named it the reckoning
In your perfect notebook lettering
One October leveling
All we knew
And you felt it coming long before
I kissed you on that dancing floor
And you held me loose and I made sure
To hold tight on you
Oh, I'm holding
Oh, I'm holding tight on you
I'm holding tight on you
Girl, I'm holding tight on you
Oh, oh
I'm holding tight on you
Girl, I'm holding tight on you
In your perfect notebook lettering
One October leveling
All we knew
And you felt it coming long before
I kissed you on that dancing floor
And you held me loose and I made sure
To hold tight on you
Oh, I'm holding
Oh, I'm holding tight on you
I'm holding tight on you
Girl, I'm holding tight on you
Oh, oh
I'm holding tight on you
Girl, I'm holding tight on you

Genius Annotation
Dom Fera’s partner, Shannon Barry, explains in her book of prose and poetry “In the Event This Doesn’t Fall Apart” that The Reckoning is something enormous that happened slowly and all at once. It was something that she could feel coming that would shake the ground and announce its entrance in a grandiose way, and though it was, The Reckoning turned out to be her and Fera falling in love. For more details, Barry’s book and Instagram page (@barry_happy) cover more on the subject of this album.
