There are two paths: one will lead you home, one leads you to the bay It's better the second way The red-winged black bird sings to me the requiem of all my bad dreams No one is quite as they seem All of the seaweed tangled in your mouth I wish I could try and pull it out I can't help but love all this decay I can't help but I want to drift away We hide all of our mistakes Under the drifting floor of the bay But they'll wash ahore History's an everlasting force What we don't know is that we can't burn those bones So we just let it go The way we live trhough this is by All of our past mistakes So they're not remade But bones and teeths will only burn Under the hottest extremes Falling from ash to your feet All of the seaweed tangled around my neck is pulling me to do what you'd expect I can't help but to follow through I can't help but to cut myself loose We hide all of our mistakes Under the drifting floor of the bay But they'll wash ahore History's an everlasting force What we don't know is that we can't burn those bones So we just let it go I'm just a horse with an insatiable thirst If you're the best Why do I feel the worst? All of my parts wash up on shore And I just don't know what this lesson is for
