Ought - These 3 Things Lyrics

When you wake up in your mourning
Head on down the river

See your soul
Feel it sway

Hear the world screaming
Listen, your name

Makes it seem like nothing
Could hear you

You fall back off the ledge in
Your mind’s eye

You can’t see how you land
And that’s the difference

Now proceed calmly
To the edge of your road

That narrow way
That is leading you home

When I hear my soul

You feel your shoulder tightening
So you knead and sway

If you’re made of stone
Then turn into clay

Wash away my body
I don’t need it

I start moving slowly
Glisten and hurt

Mary has a note for me
I’ll leave it day

A precious secret
like a bird inside a vest

Wings won’t mend
So I hold them delicate

It doesn’t speak
It just sings til it bursts

When I hear my soul

If only placement in the angels
Frees me why oh why can’t it please me?

Why must my dirty skin be
Hot when you come near me?

I must remember
To dance alone at night

Keep the profane in the light
I have only got this life

It merits this, it merits this
It merits this, it merits this

I must remember
to dance with you tonight

I must remember
I owe my heart
