I don’t care for what we’re doing
But her voice drives me insane
Men she met hang in her breath
They prick my brain

Autumn rains could not forget me
If I wandered down the drain
So I stand alone
Until they speak my name

Heaven hung up on the clothesline
Wearing thinner than a pane
May it rest forever more
And set the stain

Chilling winds pick out the melody
The leaves strike up the band
Singing halos to the tulip tree
For lies it hadn’t planned

Can you feel me in the earth
Would you find me on the breeze
If I confess now I’m a mess
Would you come home back to me
With my blurry eyes, I’m tracing you
The cold sets in the shadow stretching high
Until the shudders break on your goodbye

Tell me close so I can hear you
Over storms we fought as one
I pay the piper at
The barrel of a gun

Gritting teeth beyond your reason
Like a specter of your spite
There’s emotion to the treason
In your bite

Though I know the cold reality
Begets a bleeding truth
That the darker side for me
Is losing you

Would you listen when I see you
To the tales we’re setting free
Would you wait a second more to know
Another side of me

Can you feel me in the earth
Would you find me on the breeze
If I confess now I’m a mess
Would you come home back to me
With my blurry eyes, I’m tracing you
The cold sets in the shadow stretching high
Until the shudders break on your goodbye

It isn’t in the way you told my family
The person who I am isn’t a memory
The man I’m eating up inside
Without you I can’t survive
