lyrics

(v1)
It's that fall that I fear, a year since she called me dear
I hurtle forward, as headlights paint my path
My baptism's boiling higher and the water's been changed to fire
So build up the flames and let my spirit burn

(chorus)
So clean me until I feel free
I'm chasing a road that won't leave me
That road may be crooked but it's mine
And I know someday that I will be fine

(v2)
Well my Bible keeps a-bleeding
And I think that it might have a reason
As the dust settles and tries to clot the flow
I can hear the voices thunder as my mind is torn asunder
You can say anything as long as you don't cry

(v3)
While the night air soothes my lungs nostalgia burns my tongue, there's nothing harder than outrunning memories
By the end of this life, I'll be perched on my mountain of lies
Will there be any place that I can still call home?
