Demeter

Lyrics

Maybe I’m gonna get back to you
gonna find out that I’ve been wrong
I see my faults, I name them all
and the worst one is I’ve been gone
and absence can kill, absence can kill
I think I’ll come around
I’ll find out when I’m back again, it’s a different town
All in the year of goodbye

I see the writing on the wall
Common theory of how I’ll live through fall
and past the Shoreline Star
neighbor to the chipped teeth windows of the old world
The old palace of envy, now cat-tailed and overgrown
and absence can kill, absence can kill
I think I’ll come around
I’ll find out when I’m back again, it’s a different town
All in the year of goodbye.

Eleventh hour of high logic, no safety to be seen
and I’ll I’ve got is you and me
(and) all I’ve got are all these dreams
What’s that you said about my memories
they’re never quite the same?
It’s a sightline in the dark, it’s a long dark revelry
and absence can kill, absence can kill,
I think I’ll come around.
I’ll find out when I’m back again, it’s a different town
All in the year of goodbye.
