[Intro] Smile in a frame Month on the wall I am still in the glass Take it down Or I crawl [Verse 1] There we are by the fence with the pile not burning yet Your coat, my hands, that light that makes us look kept You walk past it like furniture, like it does not collect I stop in front of us Like the glass just stepped You said they are only pictures, they are only a day I said a day on a wall is a day that still rules Every time I wash a cup I have to see us stay In a room that moved on With two frozen fools [Pre-Chorus] If you kept October You do not get to keep the proof In a place I have to live And lose you for the truth [Chorus] Take the pictures down Do not leave us in the hall Take the pictures down I cannot pass that wall Take the pictures down If the month is yours to tell Do not nail my face up Where I have to fail [Verse 2] There is one from the kitchen that your mother must have made We are blurred, we are late, we are better than we were I look kind in that one, I look like I got paid In a house that was never Going to stay mine for sure You say it would be cruel to strip a year off the paint I say cruel is making me greet a man I cannot be Every morning that version stands there like a saint And I walk under him Carrying me [Pre-Chorus] If you kept October You do not get to keep the proof In a place I have to live And lose you for the truth [Chorus] Take the pictures down Do not leave us in the hall Take the pictures down I cannot pass that wall Take the pictures down If the month is yours to tell Do not nail my face up Where I have to fail [Verse 3] I will not steal them, I am asking, that should count I am not trying to empty you, I am trying to stand You can keep the box, you can keep the nicer amount Just get them off the plaster Get them out of my hands A story in your mouth I can survive if I choose A story on a hook is a sentence I serve I did the road, I did the pile, I did the bruise I will not do the hallway I have not got the nerve [Bridge] Take them down Not to kill the month Take them down So I can walk Take them down If you love the living man Stop hanging The one who cannot talk [Breakdown] Frame Nail Glass Month Down Down Down Now [Chorus] Take the pictures down Do not leave us in the hall Take the pictures down I cannot pass that wall Take the pictures down If the month is yours to tell Do not nail my face up Where I have to fail [Final Chorus] Take the pictures down Do it while I watch I want to see the hooks I want to see the blotch Take the pictures down Keep the box if you need Just do not make me live Under a life I cannot feed [Outro] Hall empty Hooks show I breathe I leave Pictures Down Month Still Loud
