What Hold

What hold this has on you?

Heavy shoulder

Your feet tied to the floorYour former self would

Hate these fixtures

Of metal wire and woodAs you lay down in stranger's linen

The bluish scars you hide

Reminisce of sweet addiction

Strings you never tiedWould you bend these bars

That hold you?

Keep you from the peace

And stillness comeAnd lay your head

Beside a better burden

Until the heal has comeAs you depart from

Short duration

And cut the bracelet offThe withered arm and

Port of entry

The living for the numbI would bend these bars

That hold you

Keep you from the peace

And stillness comeAnd lay your head

Beside a better burden

Until the heal has comeYou will see sunrise again

You will see sunrise again

You will see sunrise again

You will see sunrise again
