Lyrics The Evergreen - Gray Fox

We are sculpting memories, painted like a reverie, singing you a melody
Lying in the Evergreen
You and me

She said, "You barely even know me
For all you know I could be using you because I'm lonely"
Well then show me
Give it to me slowly
We could be the center of attention in this tragic ceremony
Filled with pheromones and Prednisone, whispered words and feral tones
Stare into each other's eyes, watch our faces paralyze
Girl, you got me hypnotized, telling me to slow it down 'cause I've got you terrified
So tell me how you got to this place and I can let you into my space
You can shed your skin, I could crawl on in
Don't hold anything back, girl, just go all in
I got skeletons, too
I used to hide 'em in the closet but now they're clogging up the faucets
Now I'm running out of places I can hide these bones, maybe I can bury some in your home
Tell me what you think

We are sculpting memories, painted like a reverie, singing you a melody
Lying in the Evergreen

She said, "You still don't even know me
I'm sorry but I think I'm using you because I'm lonely"
Well then hold me
We can take it slowly
We can be the center of attention in this holy matrimony
Between the sex and the cigarettes you could be my Juliet, drinking down the poison
I'm in love with your silhouette
We could both pirouette, dancing to this minuet
Gracefully we play our parts floating in the firmament
You embrace the thought of it but it tightens up your stomach
Going so long thinking love was a fist, made it up with a kiss, never knew what you missed
So here we are - you're soaking up my words, but it's just extra noise in this deafening world
So take my hands, let them keep you warm, and I'll keep quiet as we walk through this storm

We are sculpting memories, painted like a reverie, singing you a melody
Lying in the Evergreen

She said, "I said you didn't know me. I tried to save your life but you didn't heed the warning"
Well then mold me
Let me down slowly
Let me be the center of attention in this rancid acrimony
Through anxiety and liquor I'm slowly becoming bitter
Sitting in the audience silent, front and center
Watching the stage where we both signed our covenant
Now in my place the embodiment of my punishment
I'm covered with wounds from this misuse
Ain't a thing you can do about these trust issues
Put my trust in you
Your taste made me eager
You said I didn't know you but you didn't know me either
I know that you wanted more, but don't be looking for me in the crowd
When you come out, play the encore
Go ahead and sever me
Sing your final chorus
I'll be reddening the Evergreen, burning down the forest

We are sculpting memories, painted like a reverie, singing you a melody
Burning in the Evergreen
We are sculpting memories, painted like a reverie, singing you a melody
Burning down the Evergreen
