Take It Away Lyrics - Sean Watkins

Take it away, make it OK, I want to loose everything here in this grave 

I was born here I know, but this isn't my home 

Bury it and all the things pulling me down 

One loved the sand, one loved the stone, I saw them both and said, "Leave me alone" 

Well, my voice was strong and I followed its words 

They led me to nowhere and now I'm licking my wounds 

Laying still but you are just asleep 

You are soon to speak 

They stand in the way, complacent in May, a death row of changes awaiting their day 

Well they hang around town and they follow you down 

And they bang on the door till you're sick of the sound 

Lay down what you wanted for so long 

Change is what you are 

Sick from birth, awaiting the cure, to take away from my sight all of the blur 

Well the forms that I see and the colors I know 

Just projections created so questions will go 

Laying still but you are just asleep, you are soon to speak 

Lay down what you wanted for so long, change is what you are
