Laurel Wreath

[Verse 1]

Is it the withering of tired leaves

All so neatly woven around that laurel wreath?

Or the collapsing of a history

Of victories getting lapped now by all my towering defeats?

To be a champion in your eyes

Someone that you might be proud to stand beside

But I bribed the judge and poisoned the field

Medals and trophies are only all that I could steal

[Pre-Chorus]

But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes

Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital

As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?

I don't know, impossible

Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you

I could let on to anyone

Could hear it in the corners of all of my words

In the silence, you heard all that's unspoken

[Chorus]

You don't have to be lonely alone

I could be there in a heartbeat

Lonely alone

You don't have to be lonely alone

I could be there in a heartbeat

Lonely alone

[Verse 2]

As all my statues start crumbling

I don't really know what it is that I'm offering

And all I've got here is raining leaves

All once so neatly woven around that laurel wreath

[Pre-Chorus]

But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes

Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital

As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?

I don't know, impossible

Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you

I could let on to anyone

Could hear it in the corners of all of my words

In the silence, you heard all that's unspoken

[Chorus]

You don't have to be lonely alone

I could be there in a heartbeat

Lonely alone

You don't have to be lonely alone

I could be there in a heartbeat

Lonely alone, lonely alone

[Interlude]

[Chorus]

You don't have to be lonely alone

I could be there in a heartbeat

Lonely alone

You don't have to be lonely alone

I could be there in a heartbeat

Lonely alone, lonely alone
