From the recording Grey Garden: The Essentials
Lyrics
My Return Home
I always start the dream with, "I remember it all",
Breaking all the faces and destroying the walls-
It only takes a moment, to step right out of time,
and wash away the summer with the tears left behind...
I drip with the hours and the years gone by,
and bleed out the memories of the Fourth of July…
-An error in the sand, forms the faces in the walls-
So I scream through the haunting sounds, "Remember it all!"
With distance and speed, breaking violent in dreams,
I’m hanging through the summer, letting *sharp-bright* screams;
Falling from my room through the cracking ceiling,
I wash away the walls, with my eyes still bleeding-
-A pause for a second, hear the sounds of the dead,
then bite through my fingers, as I scream for the end!
The evil of the moment, beams the echoes in the halls-
Excreting every moment now, "I remember it all!"
Screaming through the haunting sound, and bleeding from my ears,
“Please take me out of time and dreams to break through all the fear!”
Excreting every moment, hear the sounds of the dead,
And on Fourth of July, I feel the blood in the bed...
But, all I want is another life and,
All I want is another time and,
"All-I-Want", IS SOMETHING I DON’T WANT!
*There’s nothing left that's pure but you, in the world*
Biting through my fingers as I scream for the end,
and hanging through the summer with the stench of the dead-
-Excreting every moment, ‘till this silence claws me down,
And giving in to every day…
...the blood spills around.
Drifting through the fragrant town without even a sound,
and haunting all the alley-ways just bringing summer down...
I cast along the ocean with the memories of the past,
so lay your eyes upon my dreaming-lifeless body, last-
I’m meters under ocean, so far from distant call,
yet echoed through the haunting sounds, "Remember it all!"
-Redemption draws nigh through all this-
--Redemption draws nigh through all this!
