Hard Bark On the Family Tree (Explicit)

Hard bark on the family tree

October leaves on Massachusetts' trees

A sight so fleetingly free

Just how October leaves

Just how October leaves

Just how October leaves

Me

On fire with the maple trees

On my knees with these leaves on these Boston streets

Praying to a god a godforsaken summer night stole

One night

One fight one family swallowed whole

Some things just fall apart

Some families stand like November trees：barren and stark

Some things just fall apart

Some memories continue breaking this cold heart

And some sons have a hard time

Looking at things the same

Looking in their father's eyes

When both their heads hang in shame

Highways home become oceans

That I just can't swim

And the rusty gates of Eden lock

To never let me in

Let me in

Oceans of emotions we've got to swim

Well I open my eyes

I can't see that family

I can't see that home

So I'll just keep them closed

Outside the door with these open arms

With the warmth of the maple tree

If these trees can't replaces these scars

Then let their leaves just bury me

Let their leaves just bury me
