The phone slips from a loose grip Words were missed, then some apology I didn't wanna tell you this No, it's just some guy she's been hanging out with Oh, I don't know, the past couple of weeks, I guess I thank you and I hang up the phone Let the funeral start, hear the casket close Let's pin a split-black ribbon to your overcoat The laughter pours from under doors in this house I don't understand that sound no more It seems artificial, like a TV set Well haligh, haligh, a lie, haligh This weight, it must be satisfied You offer only one reply You know not what you do And you tear and tear your hair from roots From that same head you've twice removed Now a lock of hair you said would prove Our love would never die, well, ha-ha-ha And I remember everything The words we spoke on freezing South Street All those mornings watching you get ready for school You combed your hair inside that mirror The one you painted blue and glued with jewelry tears Something 'bout those bright colors would always make you feel better But now we speak with ruined tongues And the words we say aren't meant for anyone It's just a mumbled sentence to a passing acquaintance But there was once you You said you hate my suffering and you understood And you'd take care of me You'd always be there Well, where are you now? Haligh, haligh, a lie, haligh The plans were never finalized But left to hang like yarn and twine Dangling before my eyes As you tear and tear your hair from roots From that same head you've twice removed A lock of hair you said would prove Our love would never die And I sing and sing of awful things The pleasure that my sadness brings And my fingers press onto the strings Yet another clumsy chord Haligh, haligh, an awful lie This weight will now be satisfied I'm gonna give ya only one reply I know not who I am But I talk in the mirror to the stranger that appears Our conversations are circles, always one-sided Nothing is clear Except we keep coming back to this meaning that I lack He says the choices were given And now you must live them or just not live But do you want that?

Wheels, turning all the time Sundays, hanging on the vine Picking out the stones Turning on the headlands Tales as old as time Standing, staring down the rain Roaring, storming down the lane Well I don't have the time And you don't have the patience They're buried in the headlands Show me where to turn to when the sky comes falling down Tell me what to say when the guards show up at the house We keep it buried in the headlands with the truth and the blood and the tears Genevieve says not to worry too much but I can't sleep for the rattling spears Walking, down the open fields Howling, tryna sort a deal But heaven hath no fury The devil's in the clay Out there on the headlands Show me where to turn to when the sky comes falling down Tell me what to say when the guards show up at the house We keep it buried in the headlands with the truth and the blood and the tears Genevieve says not to worry too much but I can't sleep for the rattling spears Older than the stones Older than the winter Taller than the trees Buried down within her Wilder than the sky Taller than the mountains Stronger than the sea It's buried in the headlands Show me where to turn to when the sky comes falling down Tell me what to say when the guards show up at the house We keep it buried in the headlands with the truth and the blood and the tears Genevieve says not to worry too much but I can't sleep for the rattling spears

You let it rise You let it pull you down And as it gripped you in the darkness With a thousand eyes a ragin' You were shredded all to pieces From the things you couldn't face You're living the long woah, woah And I know, you're just a version of my Shadow I was terrified of listening to the lights So the darkness came alive Telling me I know You're on your own You're in the thick of it And the fire that's been burning In your head for all your life Well it's blazing through the best of you The path is set alight You're telling me woah, woah And I know, you're just a version of my Shadow I was terrified of listening to the lights So the darkness came alive Telling me I know Ohhhh don't tear me down I swear, I love you Don't drown me out I swear, I love you Don't lock me out I swear, I love you I love you And I know, you're just a version of my Shadow I was terrified of listening to the lights So the darkness came alive Telling me I know And I know, you're just a version of my Shadow An apparition of the things I couldn't face Trying to put me in my place Telling me I know
