[Verse 1]
Wrapping up this blackened gift with a bow of uncertainty
Leave it in the pews in the church of the free
The rocks that I trusted have now become the rats and snakes
As I wind my way back up to the mouth of the cave

[Verse 2]
Notes left from another life, finding their way through
All the trees, and their splintered branches, make a path back to you
And when the ships have sailed out, and define what this is all about
Bury me in the blades, and all their dandruff-adorned ways

[Chorus]
When the leaves are frozen in the ground, and there's nothing left to save me now
Let's run away into the sunken-clouded sunset
Together we'll be free from all the pain that's left to give me shame
Let's run away, yet always look back, and witness the heart attack

[Bridge]
Pull me out of the auto-wreck, with tangled vines and broken stems
Of daisies that are always pushed, and slapped across the face
Throughout my youth, it seems I'm never free
As much as I can hope to believe, to believe

(You knew you would be all alone, right from the start)

[Chorus]
When the leaves are frozen in the ground, and there's nothing left to save me now
Let's run away into the sunken-clouded sunset
Together we'll be free from all the pain that's left to give me fame
Let's run away, yet always look back, and witness the heart attack

[End]
My words, they come in gasps of air through tightly-sealed lips
Aboard a weakened soul and beaten bones, escaping Death's cold kiss
See the broken sidewalk leads away, to the dawn of another day
With no horizon and a faded past

It makes me see that I've been torn away
