Take my days, been building me
A man struggle lifting his feet
I'm not tied to you, I'm not tied
Wrapped up tight and won't let me go
Tell myself I'm cutting the rope
I'm not tied to you, cut me open
I wanna bury my feelings until my mind escapes me
I'll wear the war paint just fight off my demons until them all defy me
Honey, oh honey, you'll never find me
Could be freed, maybe it's greed
All them vultures want you to bleed
You're not tied to what they see
There's still time if you believe
Take a second maybe suddenly you see you're not tied
Take it, take it from me
I wanna bury my feelings until my mind escapes me
I'll wear the war paint just fight off my demons until them all defy me
Don't you say go until it's over
I'll wear the war paint just fight off my demons until you all defy me
Honey, oh honey you'll never find me
I'm gonna bury my feelings until my mind escapes me
I'll wear the war paint just fight off my demons until they all defy me
Saved from conivent Jesus, I got it all behind me now
