lyrics

Baby please lay me down in the soil
Where I can sleep for a little while
Cause I’ve been running so long that my skin’s turned to ash, my heart’s made of coal, my soul’s made of glass I’d like to grow again
Into something worth having

I’ve been watching the night
as it crashes in waves pulling me under, cleansing my soul in its own way
and the moon looks fine from where I lay, a bottle in my hands, no one left to prey from the bottom of a well, is this heaven or hell?

Cause my days are haunted by my nights
And all I’m asking you for is a light to see by
A light to see by

I’m tired of chasing shadows around
Through the dark allies of this tired town
On the sleepy west coast
But every time I try to go my eyes spill over
Like the muddy shores of this swollen river
That I call home

someday I’ll shatter that mirror in my soul
let all the shards reflect the golden rays of the sun
then time would loose it’s hold on me,
I’d be free of how the world perceives
They’d let me be, let me grow again
into something worth having
