Better that we keep our mysteries intact
So no disessection, there's no charm in that
Frayed old flame, we're not the same
But you're ringin' through my chains
In a way beyond explainin'

Obsession and disgust an avalanche of thought
I am a monster at least that's what I thought
Frayed old flame, we're not the same
But you're ringin' through my chains
In a way beyond explainin'

Before you leave I want you to look over
Look here at me for once I'm sittin' still
This barn is red, these hills are green with summer
The past is dead and all is forgiven -- to be real
Petals start to snow from her half open hands
You loved a failure, now I'm just a man
All those questions that I won't ask
When I look around at the sky up above
I kick my feet in the ashes of defeat and
Know that when push comes to shove
Remain in love
