It's all the same as it was
The last time that we saw
Each other in the flesh
But now I'm even more bare
Feelings laid out before
And rehashed in my memory
The brink of tears
The precipice of the years
I think I'm falling into
Roszel
Roszel
All the pieces splintered in my mind
You are a beautiful artifact
The great avenue brings me childlike
I remember the shutters and the windows all closed
To the room that gave me respite
The day of the funeral and the flower I drew askew
I'm looking for the fruits in the yard
Hanging from the numerous trees
The battlegrounds of boyhood
Arrowheads and fall leaves
I can see they're having a party
The residents without me
The smoke off a charcoal grill
Pushes me back down the hill, I'm falling
Roszel
Roszel
All the pieces splintered in my mind
You are a beautiful artifact
The great avenue brings me childlike
I remember the shutters and the windows all closed
To the room that gave me respite
The day of the funeral and the flower I drew askew
I'm back at the bottom where life starts again
I never expected to feel so lonely when we reunited
Roszel
Roszel
All the pieces splintered in my mind
You are a beautiful artifact
The great avenue brings me childlike
I remember the shutters and the windows all closed
To the room that gave me respite
The day of the funeral and the flower I drew askew
It's all the same as it was
The last time that we saw
Each other in the flesh
But now I'm even more bare
