Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do

I could sleep, I could sleep

Best to be dim to the humble of traffic stomping on your name

There was country music playing, but he don't like it at all
And red fire poppin' on the rained down wood
It was whiskey bottle spilling in a lake that's made of salt
And look out Michael, there's a note on the door sayin',
