lyrics

Born in a small and lonesome town
You left home when you were a kid
Worked like a dog from dusk till dawn
Putting steel bolts through a cow's head

You joined the navy but you fell in love
Writing letters from across the sea
To a woman whose name was a beautiful feeling
You'll build her a kingdom of wood

But the pines they ache and they shiver, they sigh
Ever since you've been gone

Looking for answers in the face of grandfather
Who cut down birch trees and rode horses through water
Those cruel winter nights of whiskey and beer, it's
A taste you inherited, haunted by spirits

But those days are long gone, the horses are harnessed
Come lay by the fire, Lord hold the darkness

It’s like grandmother told me but I don’t listen enough
It’s like my parents showed me with their lessons of love
But the wolves've come calling, they won't let me go
And I fell one too many times, lost in the snow

Looked to the night sky to find the way back
But I’m ten years old again and these fucking attacks,
They play on repeat in all of my nightmares
Heavy as memory but lighter than air

This world costs a lifetime, from ashes to dust
After years starving myself, I'm afraid to be touched
Getting worse before better, for better or for worse,
Though I’ve rehearsed my death a thousand times, I promise
I'll stay here with you, the one I adore cause
You built the fire that keeps me the warmest
So I’ll brace for the wind and steady my pace
I’m on my way home, my compass is straight.

(Remember who you are, remember where you came from)
Well I’m not anyone, and I’m not from anywhere

(Remember who you are, remember where you came from)
Well I’m not anyone, and I’m not from 'round here
