The year snow fell before the leaves And truth was beyond my grasp You told me that when the moon is on it's guard Your heart's tide is out The year snow fell before the leaves Truth was beyond my grasp You told me that words are chains That fall to the sky I was blinded All pride aside I was blinded Reminded of what feels like a million chains You froze my eyes by an old fireplace With dubious metaphors for remorse Truth is still beyond my grasp And it's my heart's tide that's out And words are chains And they're tying me down I was blinded All pride aside I was blinded Reminded of what feels like a million chains I know them by heart The words, the lies The whispering, the hissing Written for your part You have shaken my world With the force of just a sigh I was blinded All pride aside I was blinded Reminded of what feels like a million chains
