lyrics

...

Girl I can’t, you know I won’t
Walk this road all alone
It’s been so hard for so long
Sharp the rocks you tread upon
I’ve seen the flesh, I’ve seen the blood
And you are dead and gone

Curse the sky you crooked branch
Shout it loud your crippled hands
My broken teeth my broken bones
Have fallen from this mouth of stone
You took it all and gave me none
And you are dead and gone

How dare you Lord, how dare you now
How can you plan to work this out
You broke yourself and took it all
Why did you have to make her fall
Why does this blood taste like stone
Why is she dead and gone

Lord I can’t, you know I can’t
Carry this load with these broken hands
I leave my arms pulled from my chest
And leave this heart on your breast
Please have it all, and leave me none
Let me be dead and gone
