Lyrics:
Well we started the season
So full of reason
We were sure we would get to the heart
And if the lies that we’d find
Were just old ties that bind
Well surely we’ve still made a start
It’s all part of the rhyme
It just takes its time
Yeah it takes what it wants from you
And you can say you don’t mind it
That you’re willing to find it
But man it’s an awful truth
Well I’ve done it myself
I’ve been high on the shelf
And I’ve walked with my boots on the ground
I’ve tried taking shortcuts
Been down deep in the ruts
And stood up and fallen back down
And I know it sounds strange
But in the face of great change
Well there’s not a whole lot you can do
When the most that gets shown is still thin as a ghost
God it’s an awful truth
Oh the ties that bind
Are so slow to unwind
Sometime late last evening
I finished my grieving
I guess it was time I was through
I spent so much time peeling myself off the ceiling
I guess I just finally came to
And I wanted my healing to be so revealing
That everyone else would heal too
But it didn’t
It doesn’t
I can’t help you cousin
I know it’s an awful truth
