Ox-eye

Of all the words you said

These were the ones that could have saved us both

But you said them

Far too late

Of all the words you said

These could've kept the shadows

Of my family

From the ground on which I'm walking

And if I'd only been told the truth

Facts based on something that

I could touch

Things would be all different now

Of all the words you said

These were the ones that could have saved us both

You said them

Far too late

And if I'd only been told the truth

Facts based on something that

I could touch

Things would be all different now

And I wouldn't have to lie

As I see truth in their eyes

Thoughts that I have had

On my way down to see them

There'd still be the loss

That we knew when we were kids

And I wouldn't have to lie

When say I'm just fine

And still know how to dance

Away what was bad

Still holding on to

The thoughts that stay false

And bound to a promise

I don't wish to keep

One hand in the ruins

Something

Once was my home

Once was my own

Bound to a promise

I don't wish to keep

One hand in these ruins

Is something that I could touch

And still know how to dance

I'd still know how to dance away what was bad...
