lyrics

Well I knew that our world started shaking
When young lovers held close at the Masonic Hall
Helped deliver the chairs to the patrons
Drank some Black Swan but felt the fear in the walls

Was too wary to walk in the basement
Scared of witches and spirits and ghosts
Couldn’t sleep through the night without waking
Started walking outside with no clothes
And yelling at the people I loved the most

Well the hospital staff in this small town
Were too baffled to handle my case
They believed all the sins I was shouting and spouting
All the madness that came out the hole in my face

Didn’t take any of my prescriptions
Thought they took from my temple, my zen
Took to powder, to weed, and libations
Was a wonder I wasn’t in jail or left dead
Just haunted alone in my home in an empty bed

Well I kissed a few people I shouldn’t have
Spent some money that I shouldn’t have blown
Held a worker with the same name as my father’s old lover
In a parlour of love where I felt most at home

Had the cops called me in a few cases
Spent some months in psychiatric wards
Heard the doctors say words they ain’t spoken
Felt holy and close to the Lord
While my family and friends and my love I all but ignored

Well, it’s hard to say you ain’t seen angels
When your soul’s felt them blow in the breeze
It’s not hard to believe you’re not crazy
When you love everything that you think you believe

But I’d trade every seen apparition
The journey, the lost months, the time
I’d trade every cruel myth I interpret
To have you back into my life
And not just lost in my heart and stuck on my mind

But it’s too late now
But it’s too late now
It’s too late now
