lyrics

We dig holes into the hearts of our lovers and friends
How many of us have the courage to fall into them?
How many of us chose to leave before the holes were sealed?
Even if you fold the hand you can't reverse the pain you chose to deal

I've started doubt all the lines I wrote
To the hope they had and to the nights they stole
And today we will learn to appreciate
That my past is the pain I chose to tolerate

I've settled for the sentiment
It's easier than meaning it
My hands were never steady enough to stop the bleeding and....
This winter I'll be staying home
I'll hang my hopes with the Winter coats
And fold my burdens next to everything that I've outgrown

If I'm the company you want to keep
Then keep your distance
I'll write a song and hope that someone listens
Now look what I've done
I let the sins of my father determine what I love
I'm a broken record plus a few more scratches
I can barely stand myself
None the less stand for something

I know that better tales get told
And ours is just a footnote
But sometimes I like to think that you're an image in the smoke
Held in my lungs and exhaled before it's had a chance
To burn a hole through my throat
