Sweet Turpentine

Unclench that fist, stuck up signs
At the end of the hall checkered designs
Stick in spokes makes for twisted falls
But who’s to blame for all these messed up calls
Burn the frayed ends, let’s call it a night
But I’m ‘bout to fall like Stonehenge, what a sight

They say if you love someone you’ll set them free
They say if they come back it was meant to be
Maybe, maybe

I’m a door off hinge
I need some turpentine from my sweet Madeline to get me off this binge
But pour another glass meanwhile
Let’s start again some other day
When the leaves turn brown green and gray

They say if you love someone you’ll set them free
They say if they come back it was meant to be
Maybe, maybe

Don’t rape the world and tempt your soul
Knowledge is brighter than shards of gold
Don’t rape the world and tempt your soul
Knowledge is brighter than shards of gold

Holding back pushing forth
I fell into this fall somewhere north of here
That’s where I’d like to be with one hand stretched forth
Take it back when I say and come back another day
