[Intro] Pines don’t judge Creek don’t tell Same damn post Same damn spell [Verse 1] I’m back on the fence line Like the night didn’t end Hat still tilted Like the joke never bent Scarecrow mask on Stuffing at the collar You still half-alive I still come back like a dollar Spent on a hollow I already know This field ain’t a visit This field is home [Pre-Chorus] They can burn the town They can chase the king They can rip the jacket They can’t move this thing Me and the strawman Stuck in the same frame Night after night Callin’ it by name [Chorus] We’ll never leave this place Not the post, not the pine Not the creek that don’t tell Not the dark in your eyes You don’t even have to move I don’t even have to run We’ll never leave this place That’s how this got done Never leave Never leave this place [Verse 2] I walk it every evening Like the field still belongs To somebody livin’ To somebody gone You wait there crooked Quiet does your name I fall for the hollow And I do it the same Mask hidin’ dead man’s eyes The one that makes me stay If love is a circle This is the only way [Pre-Chorus] Start over, start over That’s the lie we keep Ain’t no new beginning Just a deeper sleep Crown in the graveyard Wheat on the shirt We can play the whole story We still end in the dirt [Chorus] We’ll never leave this place Not the post, not the pine Not the creek that don’t tell Not the dark in your eyes You don’t even have to move I don’t even have to run We’ll never leave this place That’s how this got done Never leave Never leave this place [Bridge] I could take your hand I could take the road I could swear tomorrow We get to be unknown But the fence knows better And the pines don’t lie Everything we hunted Led us back to this sky So I say it plain With the mask in my face Baby We’ll never leave this place [Verse 3] Let the king go mad Let the town learn fear Let the tower go quiet We still end up here You stand in that spot Since I learned your smell I come back every evening That’s the only spell No one has to chase us The quiet does the name Hollow lovin’ hollow In a field that stays the same [Chorus] We’ll never leave this place Not the post, not the pine Not the creek that don’t tell Not the dark in your eyes You don’t even have to move I don’t even have to run We’ll never leave this place That’s how this got done Never leave Never leave this place [Outro] Hat tilted low World’s a joke we heard Scarecrow mask on End of every word I fall for the hollow I already know We’ll never leave this place And I ain’t lettin’ go
