"Laurel Wreath" lyrics
"Laurel Wreath"
Is it the withering of tired leaves
All so neatly woven around that laurel wreath?
Or the collapsing of a history
Of victories getting lapped now by all my towering defeats?
To be a champion in your eyes
Someone that you might be proud to stand beside
But I bribed the judge and poisoned the field
Medals and trophies are only all that I could steal
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital
As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?
I don't know, impossible
Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you
I could let on to anyone
Could hear it in the corners of all of my words
In the silence, you heard all that's unspoken
You don't have to be lonely alone
I could be there in a heartbeat
Lonely alone
You don't have to be lonely alone
I could be there in a heartbeat
Lonely alone
As all my statues start crumbling
I don't really know what it is that I'm offering
And all I've got here is raining leaves
All once so neatly woven around that laurel wreath
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital
As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?
I don't know, impossible
Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you
I could let on to anyone
Could hear it in the corners of all of my words
In the silence, you heard all that's unspoken
You don't have to be lonely alone
I could be there in a heartbeat
Lonely alone
You don't have to be lonely alone
I could be there in a heartbeat
Lonely alone, lonely alone
You don't have to be lonely alone
I could be there in a heartbeat
Lonely alone
You don't have to be lonely alone
I could be there in a heartbeat
Lonely alone, lonely alone

The War On Drugs - "Pain" Go to bed now I can tell
Pain is on the way out now
Look away and domino falls away
I know it's hard looking in
Knowing that tomorrow you'll be back again
Pin your head and let me in
I'm waiting
So...

You swapped your conscience with your father's medication
Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
And on the way wrote out a self made declaration
And when you got to...

We'll be leavin' here before too long
I never really know where you're comin' from

I wanna be the one to...
Beta Radio - "Sitting Room" In the living room, in the sitting room
I will wait for you in the hollow I have hewn
Like a darkened glass, or the devil's past
And he is waiting fast to set his own trap too
And in a kinder way...
Matthew And The Atlas - "I Will Remain" Further from my widowed home
Take the road that sets into the sun
Waiting for my skin and bone to return
And see what I've become
Summer has not yet been here though my days are long
Take me back to...
