lyrics

I was forged in the fire of your black and white
Inherited stinging eyes that never saw light
I was raised between the lines of your thick and thin
I was born beneath the sugarpine trees that stood in your garden

I was brought up on lives that were never mine
Sought out my burning highs between those lines
I was drawn into a fight that I'd never win
I was made beneath the sugarpine trees that stood in your garden

Carry me on my way home
You carried me all the way gone
You carried me all along
Carry me on
Carry me home
Bury me out on my own
Bury me like I'm a stone
To bury me is letting go
Let it go on
Let me go home

I was carried to the pyre at shoulder-height
I threw on my peace of mind, my wrong from right
I took it to the edge, I tossed it in
What I learned beneath the sugarpine trees that stood in your garden

I was forged in the fire
I was tied to the lines
That were built on our lies
To hide the promises made in time
So I filled up the cracks
So you can't get in
To hide beneath the sugarpine trees that stand in my garden

I was forged in the fire of your just because
We all got burned alive, that's how it was

Carry me on my way home
You carried me all the way gone
You carried me all along
Carry me on
Carry me home
Bury me out on my own
Bury me like I was a stone
To bury me is letting go
Let it go on
Let me go home
