"CEMETERIES" lyrics

Cemeteries they were never that good for me
My guilt is of the burning kind
Crashed drunk, and so I left my daughter
Crimson red by the county line

October rolled me over
I woke up thinking that it's not my cross to bear
Now promise takes me towards home
Be on my best behaviour this year

Life was dashed in a flashing of seconds
But this was more of a slow decline
Restitution and no social order
Her mother wasn't far behind

In Hoboken, slightly broken
We found a niche where our jealousies could hide
And I was foolish, like a fool is
Beyond my best behaviour this time

Maybe I want to grow
Maybe I want to think of you, like I used to
On a beach in the depths of autumn

Maybe I want to go
Maybe I want to think of you, like I used to
Out of reach in the depths of autumn

I'm not comfortable living with the memories she left me behind
No, no, no
I'm not comfortable living with the contents of my derisible mind

Maybe I should weigh it down this time
Got my bricks and mortar
And I'm down by the water, water
End up floating on an April tide
Got my bricks and mortar
And I'm down by the water, water

Hope I swelter as I drown in the delta
Got the eyes of my daughter
And I'm down by the cloying water
Scream blue, scream black
Feel the hand on my back
Breathe shorter
Going down in the water, water

Maybe I want to grow
Maybe I want to think of you, like I used to
On a beach in the depths of autumn

Maybe I want to go
Maybe I want to think of you, like I used to
Out of reach in the depths of autumn

I'm not comfortable living with the memories she left me behind
No, no, no
I'm not comfortable living with the contents of my derisible mind
No, no
I'm not comfortable
I'm not comfortable living with the memories she left me behind
