Nostalgia's Lie

It caught me off guard

Tears were streamin′, my eyes were teemin'

With all of nostalgia′s lies

It emptied my heart

All the weight dropped out my stomach

With all my defenses down

What is this place?

Can you take me back to somewhere, darlin'

Where I feel safe?

Down the violet path and the oak tree hollow

Spinnin' and laughin′

Was it ever what I thought it truly was?

Oh

These streets break my heart

There′s pain unfurlin' and desperate yearnin′

For all my friends who are gone

Those were the times where we all had nothin'

Most my friends are still against it

For all I′ve gained, there's somethin′ lost

What is this place?

Can you take me back to somewhere, darlin'?

These purple days

Left a violent mark on the oak tree hollow

I was spinnin' and laughin′

Was it ever what I thought it truly was?

Before, I′m pushin' up daisies

Give me a long, heady summer

With arms open wide

I won′t take this world for granted

I'll become what I′ve been askin'

I′ll accept the path that lays before my eyes

All my defenses down

What is this place?

Can you take me back to somewhere, darlin'

Where I feel safe?

Down the violet path and the oak tree hollow

I was spinnin' and laughin′

Was it ever what I thought it truly was?
