1, 2, 3

every scream went bleeding through these paper walls

if all the make up in the world could hide the scars

i'd leave today

i'm packin my, suitcase and toiletries

the rolling hills, and willow trees

of caroline await for me

You never learned the rules of change since we were 9

this isn't school boys, dont insult the girls

they like the taste of blood,

the claim of love

these two won't hear, or cease to be

sprouting from your fist and tongue

this caroline awaits for me

Fields of grain grow whipping by, from the window

seat

i'm drifting in, i'm drifting out

catchin' up on sleep

i couldn't get, indentured since the very crest of 17

i left my keys and broken dreams

cuz caroline awaits for me

I will never forgive a single day

my old marker seemed to call my name and say,

you're safer now, through every town will light your

way in reflective green.

all the way the entire state of caroline awaits for

me.
