lyrics

The crown of spring falls on a sullen brow
The seer in the mirror spits forbidden hymns against a tree
with his heavy hand bends the scale
Whatever has betrayed him is unspoken and invisible to him

Growth is meaningless
All the lists and three part plans
Leave the best with empty hands
Contracts are a sale
when I die people will be thinking to themselves, "what do I get?"
"What is mine? I've given you some love, is that not worth a dime?"
Or worth a damn
What a scam
I know the script so well because I thought it to myself

Posture keeps the others tucked away
In the Ivy Castle sits a young old man, a fake
Peculiar, is the mind.
It dances at the site of heaven just above the space kept locked away

Of course, of course
Branches bend and dance against a vintage window pane
The lighting is just superb
It's never as exciting as sitting silently alone with you
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark
Hold the light a little closer
