Aug 2016
Spent days trying to forget her
I was all over her, with strict joy
With my footsteps falling softer
On foreign ground it falls softer

Swimming with a cigarette
Floating in the leafy motel pool
Lift up your burning head
To see the ashes of abandoned youth
Its familiar
It's all around you

Whenever I close my eyes
My bed starts to quiver
For the leaves, they will wither
For your ashes, they will deliver

I was unhappy, on and on repeat
Until I got home in Tennessee
To see a woman on bended knee
Tumbling to the crumbling peek
Trusting where I'm supposed to be

You're warm, my prison is cold
You're just a wolf without teeth
In solitude, I hear a noise from gold
You're just a wolf without teeth
You're the summer smoke, the reddest sky
You're just a wolf without teeth
That will drop in the guillotine and die
You're just a wolf without teeth
Running with shoes full of landmines
Asking what I saw, and apologizing until the edge of dawn
If you think it makes me wanna surrender and wrap you in my arms
Well you're wrong
So pull the curtains of loss, to get hit with a blizzard of saws
