Hillbound Lyrics - Sleeper

things have been alright up here on the surface 

but now i must dive down, before you waste my time 

we leave ourselves behind in those we set aside 

right now you may not mind, but i think you will in time 

we are all bound somewhere, 

and im bound nowhere that you are 

but maybe someday 

i will learn to open up my arms 

soon ill be headed for the hills 

while everyone is at the mills 

this is to say goodbye, and to tell you why 

though ill be gone before this reaches you 

sprawled out in the open fields 

i always knew the sun would heal 

i heard them call, 

and i knew i had to go before you held me down 

it couldnt rain enough to wash you from my skin 

so now ill do the best that i can to start over again 

time keeps pressing on, wont be long before im gone 

somewhere up in the hills where everything still feels 

we are all bound somewhere, 

and im bound nowhere that you are 

but maybe someday 

i will learn to open up my arms 

soon ill be headed for the hills 

while everyone is at the mills 

this is to tell you why, and to say goodbye 

though ill be gone before this reaches you 

sprawled out in the open fields 

i always knew the sun would heal 

i heard them call, 

and i knew i had to leave before you held me down
