I never knew you. Funny how little that matters when somebody leaves fingerprints all over your life. First came that voice Lower than the room could hold A bass dragged through the earth And something beautiful and cold There was October in the speakers Rust gathering around the sound Four shadows dressed a funeral in green And turned my whole damn season down I didn't know what I was hearing Only knew I wanted more Like something buried through the winter Had started pushing through the floor You made misery seductive Made the punchline hurt like truth Found something living in the darkness And somehow... I found it too Green Man Can you hear us still? All those hearts you never touched Still carrying something that you built Every room Every car Every lonely set of headphones Somebody finds that voice tonight And you're D3ad Again Bloody kisses through the summer October rust beneath my feet Love you to death became a language For the things I couldn't speak Everything dies I believed you Watched enough to know it's true Leaves go brown The cold comes down And eventually... So do you But something strange survives the winter Something waits beneath the ground For some lonely bastard somewhere Who hasn't heard you yet... Until now. Green Man Can you hear us still? Another heart you never touched Just found the place where yours still lives Every room Every car Every lonely set of headphones Somebody found that voice tonight And you're D3ad Again I never shook your hand Never stood close enough To tell you what it meant Never got the chance To thank the man Behind all of it But I carried pieces with me Year after fucking year And somewhere between listening And learning how to make my own... They started growing here Spring. Summer. Autumn. Winter. Again. YOU SAID— EVERYTHING DIES And maybe everything does Flesh gives out The leaves come down The earth takes back the blood EVERYTHING DIES But death was never where it ends Because somewhere In another room That needle drops again Green Man You're D3ad Again Another season comes around And something buried rises with it Every laugh Every wound Every note beneath that voice You left something in a million strangers And never knew you did Green Man You're D3ad Again Not because the grave Gave anything back Somewhere somebody heard you And carried something forward Just like I did I never knew you. You never knew me. But somehow...
