lyrics

TENNESSEE ELEGY

Under a black
And starry sky
Make my peace
And say goodbye
Dig the grave and watch it die
Bury this in my mind
Within a stream of
Consciousness
Cold is so intense
My fingers freeze
But my language vents

The unintended
Consequences
Of complicated friendships
Once sacred
Now irreverent
The unintended
Consequences
Of complicated friendships
I’m unable to
Mend my fences

On top of white
And snowy ground
Lose myself in the sound
My sorrows I drown
Listen to the wind howl
The darkness I feel
Winters chill in my bones
My heart will ache
But my words hit home

The unintended
Consequences
Of complicated friendships
Once sacred
Now irreverent
The unintended
Consequences
Of complicated friendships
I’m unable to
Mend my fences

This is an elegy
A funeral for your sins
This is a eulogy
This is your requiem

I turn and walk away
I’m growing colder
By the day
I turn and walk away

The unintended
Consequences
Of complicated friendships
Once sacred
Now irreverent
The unintended
Consequences
Of complicated friendships
I’m unable to
Mend my fences

This is an elegy
A funeral for your sins
This is a eulogy
This is your requiem
