lyrics

You were sure
You would succeed
You had everything you could possibly need

That's when they took you from your home
With little skin to wrap their bones
They had hands like silk and teeth like piano keys

Not quite settled
In your ways
Neither set in stone nor in and out of phase

You were tied to ten foot poles
Made to stay where you were told
With no learning curve and not one loving grace

There was poison in your well before I met you
I was too afraid to tell, you were so young
When you emerged from mother earth
Made to measure all her worth
You were enraged to see the damage we had done

None the wiser
In those days
Tried to make it fit but couldn't find its place

All the windows were nailed shut
And you could no longer stay put
You tore the ties apart and ripped off all restraints

You were nothing like the man we met at sunrise
We swam Atlantic waters 'til we caught the shore
When you arrived from one small cell
You were pure and sweet but fell
Into the knowledge you could no longer ignore

There was poison in your well before I met you
I was too afraid to tell you were so young
When you emerged from mother earth
Made to measure all her worth
You were enraged to see the damage we had done
