lyrics

I held my hand out into the fire
Trying to catch a flame
we build ourselves an alter
out of old wood and a rusted blade
-
I didn’t want to carry these secrets
too heavy for us to hold
I dragged them back into the city
but the found their way back home
-
I should’ve tipped my hat and been done with it
but under my skin I just buried it
_
the words I tried to use
were all messed up in broken thought
I was a lonely shivering dancing fool
shaking in a shaman’s hut
-
I could hear you screaming crazy
when I would hide out on my own
but I had thrown myself into the mud
of some darkness I’ve never known
-
I should’ve tipped my hat and been done with it
but under my skin I just buried it
-
Did I say too much
more than enough
was I running on fumes
instead of my heart
-
did I stumble in to
the dreamer’s den
now I’m back in the belly
of the beast again
-
I was a compass kid on the corner
drawing circles around a map
I had chased the rain through the valley
until I found the lighting branch
-
I went to see the healer
I had questions about the heart
she said anything I could ever tell you
ain’t ever going to be enough
-
I should’ve tipped my hat and been done with it
but under my skin I just buried it
-
I should’ve tipped my hat and been done with it
but under my skin I just buried it
-
