Old Soul

Sinking into the sheets

Sinking into defeat

Step softly

As I lay beneath

I spread myself under your feet

Step softly

As I lay beneath

I spread myself under your feet

And I long to run about this 'spanse

When you told me you were better off dead

Tell me something I can sing

Tell me anything

What is this place in hell

That I know so well?

This life isn't where I belong

We'll sleep until I'm able to

Forget myself

But I'll sing

Into defeat

Step softly

As I lay beneath

I spread myself under your feet

We had a lot to learn about this 'spanse

I thought a lot about the things that  you said

Younger men have wished for death

But I won't carry you because I am my father's son

I am my mother's love

And I will earn your name

What is this place in hell

That I know so well?

This life isn't where I belong

We'll sleep until I'm able to

Forget myself

I shook myself away

From endless tragedy

My head that sin away

After man I tried to

Man I tried to be
