Chapels and churchyards Apartments and grocery stores Like snow ona ton of bricks On nurserys and nursing homes On piles of sticks and stones A vacant lot and an empty store And over the ocean so i can fall some more Like a fever dream my teperature's burning My bed room door the knob is turning All the lessons that i never dreamed worth learning Stories of having always preface themselves with earning I'm leaving eden I'm sick of all the rules The angels in the air The beasts in the sea Heaven ain't what it's cracked up to be I'm taking the fall If the block gets any worse Thehouse gets boarded When the days are true The nights get sordid I sleep with lilies to me morbid 'Till you show up and cover me with orchids The garage locked and car left running The seats are full and the people grinning The were told that if life's worth living that the love finds you and the air comes through Things we asy don't seem to matter When our voices crack and the pieces scatter Like leaves through windows we've left open Been a long long time since i 've seen an autumn
