circled by pines
Words by Bryon Bowers
I know you’re not her….
a friendship now gone….
like she died all over again…..
yeah she died all over again…
she got up from the grave…
gave me a smile and a wave…
then she died all over again…
yeah, she died all over again
[Chorus]
thought you were dead and buried….
turns out you were just floating’
floating’ ‘round in my head….
boy transcended….
‘nother realm….
pine needles stabbin’…
pain can feel good….
and love can be lost…
but souls never really do….
figure out the cost….
thought I buried you…
long ago….
thought the tears of my youth…
all drained from my heart…
I know now I was doomed from the start…
little boys heart….
with an old man’s mind…
was a moment of weakness….
i’m not that kind…
[Chorus]
thought you were dead and buried….
turns out you were just floating’
floating’ ‘round in my head….
boy transcended….
‘nother realm….
pine needles stabbin’…
pain can feel good….
and love can be lost…
but souls never really do….
figure out the cost….
kindness sprinkled about….
an intimate exchange….
digital walk about….
hair and eyes….
they don't make a soul…
but sometimes….
a little window….
[Chorus]
thought you were dead and buried….
turns out you were just floating’
floating’ ‘round in my head….
boy transcended….
‘nother realm….
pine needles stabbin’…
pain can feel good….
and love can be lost…
but souls never really do….
figure out the cost….
minds quantum connected….
entangled old souls….
sometimes you lose em…
no goodbye on your lips….
sometimes you lose em….
to the reaper’s dark grips…
when circled by pines…
my mind goes there….
circled by pines….
sometimes you gotta leave the dead…dead…
gotta stop em from stomping’ in your head…
[Chorus]
thought you were dead and buried….
turns out you were just floating’
floating’ ‘round in my head….
boy transcended….
‘nother realm….
pine needles stabbin’…
pain can feel good….
and love can be lost…
but souls never really do….
figure out the cost….
