Tied Up In The Vines (pts. I, II, & III) Lyrics

The capital forgot about us

At least something could

There's a covenant to speak our truths and then divide

The revenant of love denied

Lost to time

Is this an end to consequence

We're tied up in the vines

There's an irreverence we held for adult life

A sentiment bound by every honest lie

We're calling this an end to consequence

We're tied up in the vines

Is this loneliness

This is loneliness no more

I thought it was everything

But now it's the sound of the rainfall before the deluge of regrets that came my way

It's the first reminder of a thousand cold calls

And taking the long way home

It's the antidepressant

The great suppressor

Let's bury it deeper than we could ever have meant to

So that we'll never remember this

This is the end of consequence

We're tied up in the vines

Can you hear it

Are you listening

It's everything

And nothing all at once

Are you hoping for more

I hoped for years

I really thought it would come

But nothing ever came

Do you feel what I feel

Was your time the same

Do you carry an emptiness for all that was never meant

How many miles did it take

Or was it all in the time

Because it sure took me a while

I tried to find the words

I tried to hold them in

I thought it best to keep them

And not to push my nerve

It took some years of thinking

That I'd set aside to learn

I made up the answers

To questions you'd never heard

Will the guilt in me hold up

In the cities lost to time

Do you think you did your best then

Because I didn't do mine

I can only be more honest

When the prose simply simplify

I've everything to hide from

But nothing to hide behind

I think the sinking feeling's leaving

A hole's being filled in

It's getting hard to remember

Everywhere we'd been

Nowadays I think just maybe

Through the cover of a half-truth

That these words could well be

The last I write of you

So, here's to hoping to
