Always Say Goodbye

Where will you reincarnate?

When will you reappear?

Cause you stay in the corner of my eye

But when I look, you're just not there

Let's light a seance flame

Call to the spirits near

I told all those fucking bees

There's cigarette smoke trapped inside leather chairs

It's sorry and tragic

But common and always

On the back of my mind

Just how I hate the sunrise

But the jury then decides

Wall to wall that I'm a liar

So let's light a seance flame

Call to the spirits near

Call me a nihilist

I'm just in awe at the length of your hair

It's almost heavy

It's smalltalk

It's weathering

Against the shingles, the creek done rose above the bank

Now it's wrapped around the house where once upon a time

We used to feel so safe

So grab the pets and pictures and head for a middle ground

Between the things we can accept or change

And all that's left

That we just simply can't

I can bear no more burden

I've seen there is to see

Blood gurgles, spits and speaks in tongues

Through broken arteries

Does anyone reincarnate?

Will anything reappear?

'Cause you stay in the corner of my eye

But when I look, you're never there

It's haunted

Boardwalk

Funhouse

Maze of mirrors

I need a burial plot for all of my morbid thoughts

A line so permanent

There can't be another side to it

Loose lips that promise to change

The hell that spelled out my name

Don't I say it so confident

I ought to be aware of it

I gotta shed it like a skin

Gotta absolve it like a sin

Last call on everyone I've been

I gotta shed it like a skin

Cause didn't you always say you hear your heartbeat in the floor?

Now you're boarding all the windows

Lockin up the door

It just didn't make sense to run when I heard thunder in the sky

Should've stood there on the sidewalk

But instead I went inside

And hung it up high for all to see

The gallows of love

Didn't understand it then but now I know it all too much

Didn't you always say you feared the ending of the world?

Now you're turning off the TV and just standing on the shore

Laughing off every bad joke, like the funny way that he works

Or the curious comet discovering the earth

Christopher Columbus, the great pyramids

Awful to many

But to some

Magnificent
