November - Silverstein

Fragile leaves hit the ground

The cold air drifts into my lungs

I see your face through the fog

Reminds me of the dreams you lost

I can see it in your eyes

You’re broken down;

your hands are tied

I can feel it in my side

Over and over and over I’ve tried

I can see it in your eyes

You’re broken down;

your hands are tied

I can feel it in my side

Over and over and over I’ve tried

It broke my heart

It felt so good to see you

I’ve never been one to put my trust in

When did I become so weak, or have I always been?

I can’t put all this back in place (Back in place)

I can see it in your eyes

You’re broken down;

your hands are tied

I can feel it in my side

Over and over and over I’ve tried

I can see it in your eyes

You’re broken down;

your hands are tied

I can feel it in my side

Over and over and over I’ve tried

This gaping hole in my chest is filled with deceit

I fear that all my cries fell upon deaf ears

I caress flesh with severed nerves

I go veiled in darkness and disease

This November swallows me whole

And this may be the closest thing that you’ll ever receive to an Apology

I close my eyes and I can see you dead
