lyrics

Remember the time
Stuck in the hay
Your silky hair
The wind swept away
And it took you on
As a firstborn
As a monarch to a throne
with a flame so

Dull And cold
So you grew old
But your girly tears
Was to heavy to bear
Hiding yourself on a shelf
In a cigarette case
With ashes from umbrellas
Who couldn’t stand the rain

And here it is again
Pouring my thoughts
About a girl I knew
Who could open every door
And once she did
She met the abyss
Her fate didn’t end
In a drowning accident

It was no coincidence
That her coffin was swept
No body, no closure
At first I wept
But then I remembered the time
Stuck in the hay
You told me the wind
Would put you on display

And when I looked outside
A blaze of light
The moon was an ace
Carrying your face
I was scarred and relieved
Cause I knew what I’ve seen
Would stay inside
My cigarette case

Dearest I know
That you’ve got no time
For a Puzzled young man
Lost to the world
But if you could speak
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
If I should let go
Dearest I know
You’re lost to the tide
I’m lost to the world
I just wanna know
It’s true that I am
A puzzled young man
But people round here
Think I’m not thinking clear
My childhood eyes
So faded and worn
My conscious diluted
By bottomless mourn

That what they think
As they pay for my drink
As their faulty smiles
Gets flushed down the sink
Cause it’s them who can’t see
Pity yourself not me
Your blind and your chained
To a stone so restrained

All your starlight addicts
And cumulus fanatics
Measuring the sky
With a beam in your eye
Just look into
Her florescent heart
Man that stuff
Oughta tear you apart

Cause she’s so far away
So outta reach
Successfully made
A mortal breach
So every convo I have
Is About bringing her back
But they all tell me
It’s a grim and blind track.

So now i’m at the door
As many times before
Hoping for an opening
That wont leave me sore
I can’t live with a ghost
Inside of my head
But I can’t just let go
And declare you dead

Dearest I know
That you’ve got no time
For a puzzled young man
Lost to the world
But if you could speak
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
If I should let go
Darling I know
You’re lost to the tide
I’m lost to the world
I just wanna know
