lyrics

from a living forest came my hardwood floor
though it is very pretty I can’t help but miss the core
it’s never been rotten, neither is it green
dust I sweep is dirty and the bark was always clean

(if) you can’t take my offered hand hold on to something, you’re halfway gone
and the thought occurred to me you trade love for sorrow. why? this I’ll never know

I run with a message that on history leaves a mark
the strength is in the legs and the will is in the heart
on this king’s errand there is no finish line
just a carrot on a stick that can never be mine

if you can’t take my offered hand hold on to something, you’re halfway gone
and the thought occurred to me you trade love for sorrow. why? this I’ll never know

from a living forest came my hardwood floor
though it is very pretty I can’t help but miss the core
it’s never been rotten, neither is it green
dust I sweep is dirty but the bark was always clean

(if) you can’t take my offered hands hold on to something, you’re halfway gone
and the thought occurred to me you trade love for sorrow
if you can’t take my offered hand hold on to something, you’re halfway gone
and the thought occurred to me you trade love for sorrow. why? this I’ll never know
