Bruises

"It's in your hands", you told me
I can hear it after now
Whenever winds blow
Arms will hug and it's warm again
I started all the wrong ones
And I kept trying till I cracked
Buried alive in my own cross
But I'm a boy now and I can cry

"Hold it in your hands", you told me
Hiding bruises on her arms
"Don't be afraid, we'll be alright
It's gonna change, I promise"

Calm, it's time to let this go
We will be alright now
We'll chase away the storm
Calm now, it's time to let this go
Yes, we're going to be alright now
We'll find the way back home, back home

"It's in your hands", I'll say that, now
Do you think the lesson served me right?
Where's your little boy now?
Riding on his way to atone for what he done

Calm, it's time to let this go
We will be alright now
We'll chase away the storm
Calm now, it's time to let this go
Yes, we're going to be alright now
We'll find the way back home, back home

Back in my shed, making amends
I'm just like him, face is grim 'cause
Tear it right off
The smell of flesh in this room, the festering wound
Boy, it's so much better
Guess the lesson served you right
Never gonna let this go
Never gonna let this go
Never gonna let this go
I'm never gonna let this go

Calm, it's time to let this go
Yeah, we're going to be alright now
We'll chase away the storm
Calm now, it's time to let this go
Yeah, we're going to be alright
We'll find the way back home

It's just not like that
