Lyrics: 

The word, it had traveled far, you were in disbelief
He couldn't have meant no harm, 
must have had a good reason...

...for it....
...he swears....
...you buy....
....no second.....
....thought of it.....

(vouches for him,
pushes me down,
fragile boy he just slipped up this once
raises him up,
gently pats head,
only strangers can commit such crimes)

The man he had set the bar, you'd expect nothing less,
If anyone shows the same,
they'll receive all your blessing
"What if it's true?" she asks, "I just cannot conceive"
"Please don't be alarmed" he says, "I'm still the same old me"

this does ....
...not change...
...a thing...
...i'm still....
...family...
he grins...
...you shrug...

what makes you think I would like to hear that name?
tyrant gets your blessing, now he gets free reign
should we all bend down and kiss his ugly feet?
take back the accusations, admit defeat?
"anyone in the man's shoes would do the same,
lower your guns there ain't no one here to blame
if I knew you before the news, it's okay
we all sin a bit at the end of the day"

the body it has been maimed, but we can just pretend that
it has remained the same, and no use fussing over it
lick all your wounds and pray that he has judged you kindly
dreadfully await the day where you come in and raid my...

...island,
our space to hide in,
inside my island,
our space to hide in,

we braved the storm, pushing through everything pouring down hard,
only to find that you hold the culprit in high regard
there ain't no peace, ain't no harmony like you so insist,
I called out wolf, but you told me such a thing don't exist

I don't give a damn if it's not what you want to hear,
you don't give a damn if I finish my sentences

Lyrics:

Hands beckoned me to call, I’m ready to shout but I need you on your toes
The tide is high, the time is nigh                                           
Ain’t a place we got in mind, I’m game to venture far
Long as we stay intertwined, I’ll bet there’s hope ahead    

So I tied a rope around your waist, and fastened it to mine
But by the time we reached the point, the knot seemed to unwind,
But I tied it back, get back on track
I tied it back, get back on track

Thin as paper when we’re talking, shaking your fist, we keep trudging on
Pin in my side once was nothing, but now I bleed but what for, honey?

Falling on old clichés, let’s go back to happier days when the dreams were all
I don’t believe, is this what you need?
Built this house all ourselves, but now it’s a private hell, dear come back to bed
Just simmer down, we’ll figure this out

I got a twenty that says we’ll be right on back,
Only to find we’ve returned to the cold hard facts,
I’d love to bend over backwards keep this intact,
But I’ve only so much will left for breaking backs

We planned your seven-day-long excursion 
Counted down days till peace and dormancy 
But in your descent on down that stairwell, 
I found me longing for your arrival 

“Nolo contendere”, swears “not guilty” 
You took the sentence, without the penance 
You don’t exist when not in my vision 
It’s all for the best, forbid all protests 

We planned your seven-day-long excursion 
Counted down days till peace and dormancy 
But in your descent on down that stairwell, 
I found me longing for your arrival 

By day you dream on endlessly; the nights: all spent reprimanding 
When you go, we’ll take it back 
Wretched trek down interstate, I’ll attempt to commiserate 
We part ways, and find reprieve 

Contemplating way back when, in backseat of your car, he grins 
The world: still so new and pure 
Vacancy inside the den, we're found empty handed again 
He’s gone, but not gone for good

lyrics
The first time in eons we met was on your day of matrimony
Will we find affinity again, or was this just a formality?

We'll rally again once the next blue moon comes through

Back then we braved calamities
Limped arm in arm, were thick as thieves
Once tribulations ended, we all but found us lingering

I twisted your arm so you'd attend, all the way back in 2013
I quiver with utmost remorse, and yet do not return the favor

We set up shelter in frigid adjacent boxes,
Perfecting the art of minding our own damn business
One day we'll uproot with nonchalance and composure,
With blank stares, we'll shrug off every bond we've acquired

You Folk
