She said hold the weight upon your back Count the films, let them stack Find the layers that you lack And add them up Wear your stigmata like your scars Embrace the strange and bizarre The things that make you who you are Not what you were
Forgot the things in that car you wrecked Bleed new blood, paint it black
Play the saddest chords you know Play them soft and play them slow Sing your melodies in your lowest tone Forget what they mean Take your drink and take your drugs Remember how it feels to fall in love Let the notion wash away in the flood Each coming spring
Build a raft of tinsel and tar Flow into that cold sullen reservoir
These colors are nice and the rain is warm But winter is coming along with the storms
