lyrics

Roses grow along the avenues
But they never felt like something I would use
This sleepy life that I have known
Feels like everything I do is outgrown

I took a walk up on the bridge.
I tip-toed on the ledge.
I felt myself a-drowning
Yeah I felt myself a-drowning.

This honeysuckle up in the air
Said that I wasn't scared
Because Faulkner saved my life tonight
I'd never felt your light so bring
Faulkner saved my life tonight and I knew I didn't want to die.

Crassly spent my life this way.
Wait for somebody to ask me to stay.
This fate elemental my life was flung.
Boston's cold water filled up my lungs.

I took a walk up on the bridge.
I tip-toed on the ledge.
I felt myself a-drowning
Yeah I felt myself a-drowning.

This honeysuckle up in the air
Said that I wasn't scared
Because Faulkner saved my life tonight
I'd never felt your light so bring
Faulkner saved my life tonight and I knew I didn't want to

I didn't want to die.
Oh lord.

and flashlights.
I gather them and chain them together
across my ceiling
like tropical fruit. A tree of light.

Long ago I'd sit in darkness.
And with the push of a button,
Each lamp flickered on in
a righteous, white monsoon.

Now the light tree bleeds no more.
And I can’t regain that feeling
of monsoon.
