My mind is like an orchard Clustered in frozen portraits Of Blossoms that bloom so fine, just to drop from the vine I’ve seen 'em all tonight Could keep it silent and tortured Or shove it unto the floor boards A rusty heart starts to whine, In its tell tale time so free it up tonight Life deals a measly portion Light on good friends and fortune It's chipped you away inside, and drawn all your blinds Conceal ed it all from sight Could cut that final corner Charge the void no quarter Or skip to the final line of some suicide note well publicized Or give it up tonight Kindly reverse the order of the options you’ve laid before you The needle, the dirty spoon ,the flames and the fumes Just throw them out tonight The time that you’ve been afforded May go unsung, unrewarded Some nameless you cannot know ,may be coming to show you Unbridled love and light Should you grow in an orchard? Covered in dusty portraits Blossoms that bloom so fine ,just to drop from the vine Oh, listen up tonight Don’t keep it silent and tortured Or shove it all to the floorboards Your busted heart will be fine In its telltale time So give it up tonight |

| Here are th lyrics from the booklet. There are some big differences, so relisten to the song, and it will change some things. Love the Edgar Allen Poe reference to "The Tell-Tale Heart." If you have not read the story, after you do, you will see the immediate references. | |
