lyrics

Medicine Sword
Separate the flesh from me
And purify the blood I bleed
So I forget

This lost cause
A stone you tied around my neck
They pushed me off the ship and sent
Me to the depths

This young wound
Is singing on a balcony
The people at the party leave
So upset

I wanna run but I don't know where to go
The house is burning but you can't see through the smoke
I get the feeling that you're waiting
To come with me
I'm not afraid of the distance or the wild
It's not a secret that we've felt this for some time
I get the feeling that we're falling
So come with me

We feel the rope with our open hands
And then we start to swing on it
When we believe what we can't understand
The floor drops out from underneath us
We could live off the ocean air
If we could find a way to get there
We feel the weight of our heavy lives
Melt away like snow in sunshine

I wanna run but I don't know where to go
The house is burning but you can't see through the smoke
I get the feeling that you're waiting
To come with me
I'm not afraid of the distance or the wild
It's not a secret that we've felt this for some time
I get the feeling that we're falling
So come with me
