Melancholy Blues

Tow'rs

Compositor: Kyle Paul Miller

I used to think your teeth were just white curtains
Acts of optimism just to hide
I confused bitterness for enlightenment
I'll admit that I'm still not satisfied

At least now I've seen
Now I see

You were only trying to light a candle
But I stood on the shore and cursed the night
Slowly unraveling a time when
I needed melancholy blues to keep going

Ooh, ooh

Yesterday you told me that you loved me
I wanted to ask if you knew what that means
My eyes have crossed feet and no less, as they've seen
It's the prison box of what appears free

At least now I see
Now I see

You were only trying to light a candle
But I stood on the shore and cursed the night
Slowly unraveling a time when
I needed melancholy blues to keep going
