"Should Have Known Better (Demo)" lyrics

"Should Have Known Better (Demo)"

I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies

I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy

When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Oh. Be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh. Be my rest, be my fantasy

I'm light as a feather
I'm bright as the Oregon breeze
My white shroud
Frightened by my feelings
I only wanna be a relief

No. I'm not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I wanna believe

And when I was three and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Oh. Be my rest, be my fantasy
Oh. Be my rest, be my fantasy

I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere

I should have wrote a letter
Explaining what I feel
That empty feeling

Don't back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor's greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Don't back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I'm a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron's beard, where you can reach me

Don't back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination
Illumination
