Stalks

Yeah

Days chopped like the cordwood pile
Brittle vine, combine threshed my smile
Days when the veil rang loud
Fading out when the stalks surround
Those lies that'll muddle in time
Carried your young mind kept you blind
Now you gotta stare it all down
Fading out as the stalks surround

Best of me, fighting atrophy
Raincoat, denbrough, floating down the street
Bottle up, double down, keep it all aside
Kept a clean place but it's empty all the time
Same ship, same paradox
Like a timebomb never setting off
Days and works, cure it when I want
Sink the rest, hope's what's left in an open box

And I can't go back now to before
Keep moving out through the door
Eurydice, did you fall for the music?
He looked back, now it's all gone to ruin

Days chopped like the cordwood pile
Brittle vine, combine threshed my smile
Days when the veil rang loud
Fading out when the stalks surround
Those lies that'll muddle in time
Carried your young mind kept you blind
Now you gotta stare it all down
Fading out as the stalks surround

Fading out as the stalks surround
Fading out as the stalks surround
Why do I still place 'em down?
Fading out as the stalks surround
