lyrics

Bury me standing on my feet
I've lived this life down on my knees
Homeless at home
Wheels in my bones turn on their own
Familiar with a fate unknown
Call me a devil and a thief
I'm just an orphan on your street
You do me wrong but I'm moving on
I'll leave you a song and you'll be dancing all night long
This earth's not enough
My heart can hold more
Oh heaven above
Bend your arms and break these bars
Trespassing for one thousand years
Poisoning roadsides with my tears
Cursed by the land
Roots in the sand
You can't understand who I am
I'm a flowering weed
A saltwater stream
A fire in the heat
Can't you see
This earth's not enough
My heart can hold more
Oh heaven above
Bend your rules and break these laws
I'm not in the cards
I'm out past the stars
Where dust and ash is all we are
