Letra de Holy Branches
When you were young You'd bite your tongue Calm, always did what you were told Never ran your mouth Lived life on tiptoes Only felt peace if by yourself When mistakes don't countThere's a hole in your chest From the time that you were born One that don't get filled 'Cause you've always known, you're nothin' they wantBut everybody's bones are just holy branches Cast from trees to cut patterns into the world And in time we find some shelter Spill our leaves and then sleep in the earth And when we're there we'll belong 'Cause the earth don't give a damn if you're lostNow I live alone Work in the belly of machines Wring my soot-black hands And I don't sleep much Days don't feel much different From the nights With no goals in mindThere's a hole in my chest From the time I walked away One I fill with sweat So now I know, I'm nothin' they wantBut everybody's bones are just holy branches Ride the breeze to cut patterns in the leaves And in time we find some shelter Spill our seeds and then wait for our turns But for now we're adraift on the waves of disconent Trying to carve our place All in hopes we'll be something they want But I'm not holding my breathTrace your fingers down my spine Make your home behind my eyes Line my skull with harmless lies I'll bide my time until I'm something they want
