[Verse 1: Reba Meyers & Jami Morgan]

A pile of shells and a pile of leaves

In my dreams green man looks like me

And failure falls just like autumn trees

My concrete comfort mezzanine

[Chorus: Reba Meyers & Jami Morgan]

The smell of autumn and carbine

You'll never clean it up

I wanna let 'em all down

A letter goes out to your side

Something to mix it up

I wanna let 'em all down

The smell of autumn and carbine

[Verse 2: Reba Meyers & Jami Morgan]

They'll crack a window and let you feel the breeze

But was the juice ever really worth the squeeze?

It all looked so loud, now we don't hear a peep

A distant rainbow reverie

Now you're a pile of pills and a pile of leaves

Boss man's posthumous hit factory

He sleeps in silk sheets while you rest in peace

Culture's black eye like the girls you beat

[Chorus: Reba Meyers & Jami Morgan]

The smell of autumn and carbine

You'll never clean it up

I wanna let 'em all down

A letter goes out to your side

Something to mix it up

I wanna let 'em all down

The smell of autumn and carbine

[Bridge: Reba Meyers, Peter Steele & Jami Morgan]

Draining slowly, finally at peace

Is it any wonder, why autumn is the most favourite season

The trees are flame and the water's still

It is by far, my favourite season

Draining slowly, finally at peace

Draining slowly draining slowly

Draining slowly, finally fading away

[Chorus: Reba Meyers & Jami Morgan]

The smell of autumn and carbine

You'll never clean it up

I wanna let 'em all down

A letter goes out to your side

Something to mix it up

I wanna let 'em all down

The smell of autumn and carbine

[Outro: Jami Morgan & Reba Meyers]

You'll never clean it up

You'll never leave it

No matter what they say

You never mattered much anyway
