Burn It // Bury It - Our Hollow, Our Home

We’ll take it back to the source

Back to the heart of the problem

Cut back the stem and dig it up from the roots

Black blood, runs deep

Through the earth past the mountains

And down to the sea

I won’t wait for these ties to bind me

To finish the noose

I’ll carry on, I’ll cut lose

And bury the parts of me that

I left behind when I lost you

Its clear to see that this is going too fast

Going too fast maybe

I should slow this down but I don’t know how

And now I feel like a freight train get out of my way

Cause I’m coming of the tracks so move before it’s too late

Time moves in mysterious ways

But I’ve finally found the words

So I’ll put them in a melody

We will bend and we’ll break

But I’d rather let it burn me than bury me

We will bend and we’ll break

I’d rather that than admit this is happening

Oh it’s clear to see

I just can’t believe this is happening

Digging dirt on my hands and knees

As I search for salvation in the midst of this tragedy

But now I’m just like winter

Barren and cold with no love for the sun light

Isolated… and the silence is deafening

Will I leave myself here to wither away

And in the darkest of nights

I’ll pay with my bones to settle the tithe

Oh, we are more than just flesh and bone

We are more than just skin and soul

Hear my words in the ebb and flow

«Dear god, I’ll be my own reckoning»

Was it so easy to run?

I feel the sadness surround me

And I’ve only myself to blame

I wish the exit, was easier to find

It’s not the end, it’s the journey we take
