lyrics

Well it cost a pretty dime just to hold it in your hands
The way it made you feel from a distant land
Put it down now it won’t last long

They will sew up your pockets just tell them that you’re cold
You always close your eyes when my story’s told
Let’s murder that old time hymn

Falling out the door pushing me a breeze I can’t ignore
I hear what folks are saying carrying a blame they won’t betray
I don’t recall my name

Backs against the wall bloody knuckles voices in the hall
A chance to ease the pain everyone who hides behind the shame
I won’t forget your face

I’m always December but still a trick or treat
I know I’ll remember all the blood you can’t see
Cracks where the light gets in

Glass heart in a box never knew a blind man who could talk
Save that dance for me tell me I’m the man you want to be
I’m still down on my knees

I fall to the ground
Force me to the ground
With snow on my nose
Let me paint the town
Doors that open
In my softer words
And doors that keep score
The meanings that you heard
I think I’m still unsure
