Still
I can still remember
I can still recall
I still taste smoke, embers
Pressed up against my skull
Sometimes I refuse you
Sometimes we just lie
Other times they intrude
Serving themselves a slice
Stopped counting my lessons
Stopped courting disease
I'll stop when the reasons
Lose color like the leaves
I can still remember
I can still recall
My heart's locked in Winter
While my mind's lost in Fall
Never could be certain
Never could be found
I'll never be the same
With half still, underground.
I can still recall

Stopped courting disease

Lose color like the leaves
I can still remember
I can still recall
My heart's locked in Winter
While my mind's lost in Fall
Never could be certain
Never could be found
I'll never be the same
With half still, underground.
