Best Friend, Best Liar

Verse 1

They found another one out on Miller Road

Yellow tape strung across the pines

My little town went quiet as a stone

Folks locking doors and drawing blinds

Every October something dark comes round

Same week every single year

Nobody says it out loud downtown

But everybody disappears

Pre-Chorus

I started keeping notes

I started counting days

I traced the pattern back

To someone I can't say

Chorus

It's my best friend

It's my best friend

The one I grew up riding bikes with

The one I'd call at 3 a.m.

It's my best friend

It's my best friend

How do you turn a brother in

When the brother's been killing men

Verse 2

I saw the trunk of his old Chevrolet

A shovel and a folded map

He laughed and said the trails get washed away

And something in me snapped

He taught me how to cast a line

He taught me how to throw a punch

Now I'm reading every sign

And I can't eat my lunch

Pre-Chorus

I know his mother's name

I know his father's grave

I know the way he prays

And the way he doesn't pray

Chorus

It's my best friend

It's my best friend

The one I grew up riding bikes with

The one I'd call at 3 a.m.

It's my best friend

It's my best friend

How do you turn a brother in

When the brother's been killing men

Bridge

Costumes on the porches

Candy in the bowls

Kids out in the streets tonight

And I'm the only soul who knows

Guitar Solo

Chorus

It's my best friend

It's my best friend

The one who held my hand at funerals

The one who knew my darkest sins

It's my best friend

It's my best friend

Halloween is coming round

And I don't know where to begin

Outro

(Mm-hmm)

It's my best friend
