Rustic rugs and splinter walls
Now every time I'm home it's fall
Is this the way it's
Always all or nothing 'spite
The fact that I've had darker nights
Because I know the
Frost bit autumn, wintertime
Well who knew air could be so dry
Or skin could be so
Thin and lanky skeleton
A bone is half the man I've been
For that I'll stand accused
I made a perfect youthful love
That lingered like the moon above
Or like the grief in
Sideways action, forward thought
Now I apologize a lot
Because I know
The palest moon in summer, spring
Makes oceans reach and crickets sing
But I had lost my
Mind the word choice, mind the cost
Permanent was love I lost
I was impatient and confused
Because I know the truth
Quiet shade and sunny day
A happy suburb life replaced
And I'm the one to
Blame and hate came out my mouth
I'm feeling guilt again right now
Because I know
The way I loved you wasn't fair
I lost my family, yours was there
I acted like an
As for blame, both yours and mine
Let's leave it underneath the pine
I hope you want that too
Because I know the truth
And I know the truth
Mom, back when you were in the fight
I kicked you out of mind and sight
I knew not what I
Didn't you know everything
The secrets in the words I sing
Because I know
The dust in morning light will soar
Like snowflakes from my closet door
And it's time to drag out
Skeletons hung up year round
I guess it's time to take them down
I owe it to myself and I owe it to you
It's winter and I've left my youth
And now I know the truth
