The year snow fell before the leaves
and truth was beyond my grasp
you told me that when the moon is on it's guard
your heart's tide is out

The year snow fell before the leaves
truth was beyond my grasp
you told me that words are chains
that fall to the sky

I was blinded
all pride aside
I was blinded 
reminded of what feels like a million chains

You froze my eyes by an old fireplace
with dubious metaphors for remorse
truth is still beyond my grasp
and it's my heart's tide that's out
and words are chains
and they're tying me down

I was blinded
all pride aside
I was blinded 
reminded of what feels like a million chains

I know them by heart
the words, the lies
the whispering, the hissing
written for your part
you have shaken my world
with the force of just a sigh

I was blinded
all pride aside
I was blinded 
reminded of what feels like a million chains
