About This Track
--------------------

A little sketch about a relationship in which everyone around the two parties involved thinks it's a bad idea that will imminently fail. It was, and it did! Enjoy.

lyrics

This October
---------------

Eight years ago standing by pictures
We couldn't know who would have figured
Scars would align planets implode and combine

Well I drew to you you thought of me too
By the red car it looked like the wind blew
Flowers on your dress (but they were already there I guess)

Souls may rise out of the gravest times
Devil may snare but pray
Light never leave this October
October

The dance in our eyes lances and sutures
Reluctant goodbyes and hopes for a future
Heavy as a cross baby lighter than candy floss

Sweet soul ties healing the carnal crimes
People may stare but say
Light never leave this October

Now here breathe me in and send me through your atmosphere
In your arms I'm higher than a heroine on pills and beer
Fight for faith can we scare away fear

Souls may rise out of the darkest times
Lay down your yesterdays
Light never leave this October
Light never leave this October
Light never leave

Nature's on her knees
The leaves meet gravities
And here's All Hallow's Eve
Remember being naieve
Our lives stopped…started again
Wish we'd been us back then
But through love's kill and kiss
I'm glad I hold you
This October
