lyrics

They rolled me in the snow
while I was on fire.
Heat clung to my coat,
I was young and tired.
It’s shame to survive
and have nowhere to go.
Forgive me, I want to be alone
Use the trauma I have known

I was burned and I was broke,
but the lines and chords found me
I’m never going back to Buffalo
I may lose everything.

Oh Marlene, I’ve seen the world
but the world has not seen me.
Come fall apart in the songs I wrote
They’re someone else’s now to know

I want to close it
I need to close it
To see it through the end
I want to hold you
I need to hold you
To see it through the end

You never wanted me
But, the world will remember
it wasn’t my intention to live
but this town, it suits me well.

Flowers of the forest, come and go
wither and die on the steps of our home.
I can’t distinguish the night from the day
or the joy from the sorrows.

The drums, they beat slowly
as they lowered me down.
The dirt, it cracked and crumbled,
my fears disappeared in the ground.

Oh Marlene, I’ve seen the world
But the world has not seen me
Come fall apart in the songs I wrote
They’re someone else’s now to know.

I want to close it
I need to close it
To see it through the end
I want to hold you
I need to hold you
To see it through the end

Flowers of the forest
have withered away
withered away, my love.
(Flowers)

One of the most heart-wrecking, redemptive, perfect albums I've ever heard. Every time I play it I feel like I've been dismantled and rebuilt. And I do it again and again. Patrick
