about

Sometimes writing gets you in your gut.

lyrics

Eleanor, the book you swore
You read in a day is thrown across your bedroom floor
Lying face down, words to the ground
You smothered the fire that burned through you

Truth is nothing new, but it came then to you
In an illustrated view of the author's living room
A typewriter brown and ashes abound
Fell short of the inspired that drew you

Don't let them see you start running
Don't let them see you break down
The ink in the well stained their letters
But it stained your heart black as the soot of this town

Writing is smoke and boiling the bones
Or so you were told by a writer you know
A brutal display for a few rays of grace
As kind as the whiskey you swallow

You live in a place where nobody speaks
But silence is better than words you don't mean
Dust on the records just like you remember
Frost on windows of memories you see through

Don't let them see you start running
Don't let them see you break down
The ink in the well stained their letters
But it stained your heart black as the soot of this town

Why do you take it so hard?
They don't owe you nothing but you've made it your own
A blanket to warm you when you felt alone
They're just men that are working and men that are dead
Women that soothe you with words just like friends
But you treat them like heroes

Eleanor, the book you swore
You read in a day is thrown across your bedroom floor
Once your crying eyes have put up a good fight
Red and blinded, the muse will come find you
