Should Have Known Better

Lyrics

I should have known better
 To see what I could see
 My black shroud
 Holding down my feelings
 A pillar for my enemies
 ♪
 I should have wrote a letter
 And grieve what I happen to grieve
 My black shroud
 I never trust my feelings
 I waited for the remedy
 ♪
 When I was three, three maybe four
 She left us at that video store
 Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
 Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
 ♪
 I'm light as a feather
 I'm bright as the Oregon breeze
 My black shroud
 Frightened by my feelings
 I only want to be a relief
 ♪
 No, I'm not a go-getter
 The demon had a spell on me
 My black shroud
 Captain of my feelings
 The only thing I want to believe
 ♪
 When I was three, and free to explore
 I saw her face on the back of the door
 Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
 Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy
 ♪
 I should have known better
 Nothing can be changed
 The past is still the past
 The bridge to nowhere
 I should have wrote a letter
 
 Explaining what I feel
 That empty feeling
 Don't back down, concentrate on seeing
 The breakers in the bar, the neighbor's greeting
 My brother had a daughter
 
 The beauty that she brings, illumination
 Don't back down, there is nothing left
 The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
 I'm a fool in the fetter (fool in the fetter)
 Rose of Aaron's beard, where you can reach me
 Don't back down, nothing can be changed
 Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
 My brother had a daughter (brother had a daughter)
 The beauty that she brings, illumination (illumination)
 Illumination
