Nick Barone - Shades Lyrics

I need to move south
I can't take the cold
Find a way out
Before it gets in my bones
Scream the walls off this house
And paint it in shades
Of all of the things
From once we were made

It was great to have your sympathy
All the times I needed most
And I wept softly to your serenade
All your ribbons and your bows and I
Clung tight to your surrender
But I lost it in your wake
Clawed endlessly for answers but
The answers never came and so
I'll ask again
Where did it end

Now I'll justify pain
Negotiate terms
Draw lines in the sand
Parallel universe
Where futures will burn
And outcomes will fade
Until I lay without pause
In the bed that we made

It was great to have your company
All the times I needed it most
And I wept softly as you turned from me
Took your silver and your gold
And I yelled out I surrender
But it was lost in my mistakes
Clawed endlessly for answers
But the answers never came and so
I'll ask again
Where did it end
