about

Demo track recorded in a Blanders bedroom by one third of "the Shorts."

lyrics

Sitting here upon a flower
Resting on the petals waiting to make his sting
His bitter sting

The devil don't hide and cower
He stands up straight and looks you in the eye
He seems so kind

It's okay to break down on the floor
You don't have to carry those things anymore

You did exactly what he wanted you to
You bound yourself to things that only you knew

But your Father won't let you go
Your Father won't let you go

I thought it might be louder
But death is quiet, as it pulls you to the ground
It hardly makes a sound

He took everything I ever had
Every beautiful thought I had at all

And he twisted it up in his hand
Twisted it until I couldn't breathe at all

But my Father won't let me go
My Father won't let me go

When I'm empty, He fills me up

He told me to stay awake
He told me to wait and pray
He told me to stay awake

My Father won't let me go
