STALKS

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah, ooh [Chorus] Days chopped like the cordwood pile Brittle vine, combine threshed my smile D-days when the veil rang loud Fading out when the stalks surround Those lies that'll muddle in time Carried your young mind, kept you blind Now you gotta stare it all down Fading out as the stalks surround [Verse] Best of me, fighting atrophy Raincoat, Denbrough, floating down the street Bottle up, double down, keep it all aside Kept a clean place but it's empty all the time, no Same ship, same paradox Like a timebomb never setting off Days and works, cure it when I want Sink the rest, hope's what's left in an open box [Bridge] And I can't go back now to before Keep moving out through the door Eurydice, did you fall for the music? He looked back, now it's all gone to ruin [Chorus] Days chopped like the cordwood pile Brittle vine, combine threshed my smile Days when the veil rang loud Fading out when the stalks surround Those lies that'll muddle in time Carried your young mind, kept you blind Now you gotta stare it all down Fading out as the stalks surround [Outro] Fading out as the stalks surround Fading out as the stalks surround Why do I still place 'em down? Fading out as the stalks surround
