Ever
since I was a child,
my dreams were like a scripture.
I'd draw them out and trust that one day they'd
be more than pictures.
Like Brady said, if I left, I'd be
the one guy that was different and then nothing changed.
Stories that appeared to me of love and fights
for freedom and the way that all the clouds
would turn the sky into a ceiling.
It was infinite.
Still, I've always been so scared
of leaving, but I had to go.
If I should fall down
under stars I can't call out,
get me back to my home ground,
let
me add to the weight of the woods.
Tether my bones tight,
infuse with that coastline
and bury this soul of mine,
give it back to the weight of the woods.
Never offered much except a song,
a little safety.
I never thought my luck would reach
a point where you would take me.
I always had this fear that the younger me would hate
me, but it worked out fine.
The devil's got his teeth in me,
it's only happened lately.
I'm working hard against it,
but sometimes it ain't so easy.
Oh,
there'll be a time I'll have to make my peace with those who made me.
I'll be ready then.
If I should fall down
under stars I can't call out,
get me back on my home ground,
let me add to the weight of the woods.
Tether my bones tight,
infuse with that coastline and bury this soul of mine,
give it back to the weight of the woods.
Let me add to the weight of the woods,
give me back to the weight of the woods.
Let me add to the weight of the woods,
give me back to the weight of the woods.
If
I should fall down
under stars I can't call out,
get me back to my home ground,
let me add to the weight of the woods.
Tether my bones tight,
infuse with that coastline
and bury this soul of mine,
give it back to
the weight of the woods.
