Sean Watkins - Take It Away Lyrics

Take it away
Make it okay
I want to lose everything here in this grave
I was born here I know
But this isn't my home
Bury it and all the things pulling me down

One loved the sand
One loved the stone
I saw them both and said leave me alone
Well my voice was strong
And I followed its words
They led me to nowhere and now I'm licking my wounds

Laying still but you are still asleep
You are soon to speak

They stand in the way
Complacent in May
A death row of changes awaiting their day
While they hang around town
And they follow you down
And they bang on the door 'til you're sick of the sound

Lay down what you wanted for so long
Change is what you are

Sick from birth
Awaiting the cure
To take away from my sight all of the blur
Well the forms that I see
And the colors I know
Just projections created so questions will go

Laying still but you are just asleep
You are soon to speak
Lay down what you wanted for so long
Change is what you are
