October Lies

So bleak, the things we could have missed
And dawn is just a liar
Come lay your woes where nothing grows
It's safe within the fire

October lies
It's sills and paint are cold
October lies
A fairytale it's sold

Come mark your trail with wounds that scrape
Upon the trees and land
So gaunt, the grin upon your face
So long the twilight stands

October lies
It's sills and paint are cold
October lies
A fairytale it's sold

Don't claim you've found its riches when
Your plunder is pyrite
So wry, this interstitial friend
Upon whose back we die

October lies
It's sills and paint are cold
October lies
A fairytale it's sold

Take pause, this harlequin embroidery
Is just a veil for fangs
Come mark the dents this day receives
Until it's still again

October lies
It's sills and paint are cold
October lies
A fairytale it's sold
