lyrics

There was a sound, there was someone to blame
There was a sigh, and a naming of names
I'll never let 'em take you away I'll never say it was you
As I serve your time I wonder what it is that you do

What color's on your paintbrush is it red and does it bleed
Just like a head wound when you try to make a heart
Is it yellow does it run like a coward down your canvas
Just like we did when we tried to face the sun

Broken glass, then alarming pain
I failed you passed, brought the family such shame
I'll never let 'em take you away I'l never say it was you
As I serve your time I wonder what it is that you do

What words are on your writer are they bold and do they breathe
Just like a secret no one else should read
A peculiar sorta letter a peculiar sorta tone
Written in a language all your own

Chorus:
Please send it, drop it in the mail
Please send it, mark it Austin County Jail

A book of days, one of them I'll be free
It's not too late to go retracing those dreams
I'll never let 'em take you away I'll never say it was you
As I serve your time I wonder what it is that you do

Chorus:
