lyrics

CREASED

I'm standing in the room
Looking out the window
Everything is in order
World keeps going slow
Early morning drizzle
Like a late night picture show
I'm moving on already
And she still doesn't know

Why has it got to be that way
Would take a lifetime to explain
Some men are made full of regrets
Most are made of pain
I don't have to leave a note
My tears I can retain
Just light another cigarette
And disappear in the rain

She's moving ever so faintly
Across the unmade bed
Her hair ablaze like a sun
All around her sleepy head
She trusted me like a child
Who wanders from door to door
She thought we'd stay together
But I'm bound for other shores

Song crying in my ears
Life's just another show
Follows me step by step
Everywhere I go
Its words cold iron thorns
Its tune a bitter memory
Biting deep into my chest
A grinning eternity...
