lyrics

You cried outside so people could see you
Making puddles that birds would dip their heads into
I was a part of the land til water voices got me
Now I'm a floating vessell somewhere out to sea

I heard sirens screeching far beyond the rocks
Now I'm shattered wood, taken my last shot

I waited all night for the Holy Ghost
He never showed He never showed
With blood on my door and a flag on my post
He never showed He never showed

When I gave up, I was finally free
Free from the hold Free from the hold
No concept of time but the changing of leaves
Free from the hold Free from the hold
