Reclamation
My soul ran on
a hundred miles from home
I just couldn't stop this pain
And it dogs me yet
I spent my last dime
to catch the bus
I wore a sign
And this pilgrimage I'm making
Isn't for me
It's for you
Can you understand
this philosophy?
'Cause I've lost the sense
of who is me
Drowning
in the core of who you are
So now its for me
and I'm breaking free
Running through jungles
I've camouflaged my soul
I've watched you through the night
with your heart's dagger
and your false light
I'll wait you out
recapture my loss
carry this pain home and bandage the wounds
Till I learn once more
who I am to me
