Heirlooms Lyrics

Acorn Heirlooms

Sometimes treasures found are treasures best left hidden
Like petty crimes, that shouldn't be forgiven
I'm the shadow cast by the towers you left standing
Listen to the ringing in your ears

Your (???)nothing, drinking paint the water
Pillowaches and eyes burned for tomorrow
Wedding seasons to temporary reasons
Nothing but the ringing in your ears

A trumped tells you, heard ad infinitum
Parting words and how we might divide them
No holy wars or drunk highschools-reunions
Nothing but the ringing in our ears

The paperbagfilm version of your life
The family-jewels you put under the knife
And arrows mark the stunts you can't get rid of
Branded into your backside for you to sit on
Sunlight paints the poles with dust and plaster
these days the winds mark the sidewalk so much faster

I fall asleep in the valley between your shoulders
And listen to the ringing in my ears
And listen to the ringing in my ears
And listen to the ringing in my ears
And listen to the ringing in my ears

See them wave at you fall back to the back of the line
