📜 Lyrics
I wouldn't go back, even if I could
There's a cemetery where a dream once stayed
Look too hard, be careful what you find
I know my fate in the back of my mind
I went to see a mystic, but I already heard
The end is near, better use your words
She made me tea, I acted so surprised
She read my palm, I read her eyes
Strike a match and start again
My memory is my only friend
Build me a house for memories I've kept
Then burn whatever's left
I carry my pain across a long high wire
Above the city of death and a lake of fire
It's never quite as bad as it seems
Sometimes it's worse than a waking dream
Don't wake me up, don't make a sound
In my sleep, I'm falling down
I'm somewhere else, in a different time
In the ancient hills, a church bell chimes
Make me believe in magic again
I wrote a book so I know how it ends
So many pages, I can't forget
Tear them out, and burn whatever's left
Spanish moss hanging from the trees
Holy city, come talk with me
I left my body, I left this world
My spirit untethered, my hair unfurled
Strike a match and start again
Lock the road, from either end
Build me a house for memories I've kept
Then burn whatever's left
Then burn whatever's left
There's a cemetery where a dream once stayed
Look too hard, be careful what you find
I know my fate in the back of my mind
I went to see a mystic, but I already heard
The end is near, better use your words
She made me tea, I acted so surprised
She read my palm, I read her eyes
Strike a match and start again
My memory is my only friend
Build me a house for memories I've kept
Then burn whatever's left
I carry my pain across a long high wire
Above the city of death and a lake of fire
It's never quite as bad as it seems
Sometimes it's worse than a waking dream
Don't wake me up, don't make a sound
In my sleep, I'm falling down
I'm somewhere else, in a different time
In the ancient hills, a church bell chimes
Make me believe in magic again
I wrote a book so I know how it ends
So many pages, I can't forget
Tear them out, and burn whatever's left
Spanish moss hanging from the trees
Holy city, come talk with me
I left my body, I left this world
My spirit untethered, my hair unfurled
Strike a match and start again
Lock the road, from either end
Build me a house for memories I've kept
Then burn whatever's left
Then burn whatever's left
