Forced To Stay
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bound to the trunk of a tree stretched out for miles
Cast a shadow on all I know of life
I can't seem to shake the thought
The light is taken by the hearse
It’s a lesson never learned
Everyday is getting worse
I dissolve into the pain
Pour myself into the guilt
Hanging over me like skies of rain
All the blood that I have spilt
Carried you to heaven’s gate
I am forced to stay
A celebration
The finale of life
The marriage between
Soil and bride
The blood denies the rose
To carry only memories of loss
A vigil on the side of the road
Her body now belongs to the cross
I am judged and set on fire
At the stand, falling deaf to their cries
The bleating of a hundred voices
In unison asking me why
Why did I take a chance and gamble life?
Every sign points me back to the dorm
In my head, you say: I told you so
We should've left before the storm
The rain washes you away
The rain washes you away
The rain washes you away (forced to stay)
The rain washes you away (forced to stay)
The rain washes you away (forced to stay)
The rain washes you away (forced to stay)
