Still-Life Graphite Lyrics

I stood inside your parent's house

They told me love was not allowed

But in the Springtime

You told their secrets

As hard as I tried

I could not forget

The way your canvases covered your eyelids

You said that Hardy really knew his shit

And in the sunlight

We write our black lines

Do you remember?

Do you recall?

Do you remember at all?

I grew up late July by the shore

I said I don't think I can take much more

There's something in the water here, dear

It makes me fearful

Cover your eyelids

And I got home so late and unpacked fast

My father died, you really got me through that

And then the winter came

We forged both of our names

Do you remember?

(I saw you standing still)

Do you recall?

(In your pile of orange peel)

Do you remember at all?

(Your head against the wall)

Do you remember?

(I saw you standing still)

Do you recall?

(In your pile of orange peel)

Do you remember at all?

(Your head against the wall)
