What Would You Do?

Winchester #6

Lyrics: What Would You Do?

Well, they came uncovered, the boy and his mother; the story, the luggage, the stone. And she raised him heavy with Jesus and red meat, the fear of the deadbeat the drone.

And the girl would wonder throughout Sunday supper, "Is this how my life is to be?" The house stood static from basement to attic; the placemats where no one would eat...

But it takes so long to say sorry, and it builds in your body and poisons you. And you wake alone in the darkness and scream "I have got this! I know the truth!" But if you had only one moment to give back that torment, what would you do?

And the lake looked amber, the water the sandbar, the slaughter of what had run wild. In the eyes, in the antlers, on the wall, on the mantle, so dead to the child, so alive...

So alive, like they always would be and so tied to the family tree, and the light that will always still lead them back home. So alive, as they prayed they would be and still tied to that family tree and the light that will always just lead them back home.

The cars rolled slowly through the town to the hole they made, where the cold came down like a coin. And the view of the pond, but is it true that the beyond is the just home of the ones we should avoid?

Cause they take so long to say sorry and it builds in your body and poisons you. And you wake alone in the darkness and scream "I have got this! I know the truth!" But if you had only one moment to give back that torment, what would you do? What would you do?
