lyrics

I’m starting a revolution
no revenge, no hate
Just laying down the bricks
To steer my own family straight

Invited my folks along,
Turns that they were not able
pray it won’t be long
before they join us at the table
wide open doors,
Step across and toss yourself into what is
The truth cuts, but that’s what you do to build a bridge
I miss my mother she often shows up in my dreams
Here’s hoping things are more hopeful than they’ve initially seemed

We split like swords
We shake the dust
We didn’t abandon ship
No, that ship abandoned us

I had to escape from the family,
As well, even you
Hard to tell between the tar and glue
That held us all together
Instead of a part
My body stayed and decided split with my heart

Christmas will come around soon, there’s snow on the ground
And a dull pain in my pocket, a heart tightly bound
My freedom may be on the other side of grief
I fear that my detachment will provide me relief

I tried my hardest, I tried to mend it all
I didn’t leave you, I didn’t leave you at all

We split like swords
We shake the dust
We didn’t abandon ship
No, that ship abandoned us
