Sleeper - Hillbound lyrics

rate me

things have been alright up here on the surface

but now i must dive down, before you waste my time

we leave ourselves behind in those we set aside

right now you may not mind, but i think you will in time

we are all bound somewhere,

and i’m bound nowhere that you are

but maybe someday

i will learn to open up my arms

soon i’ll be headed for the hills

while everyone is at the mills

this is to say goodbye, and to tell you why

though i’ll be gone before this reaches you

sprawled out in the open fields

i always knew the sun would heal

i heard them call,

and i knew i had to go before you held me down

it couldn’t rain enough to wash you from my skin

so now i’ll do the best that i can to start over again

time keeps pressing on, won’t be long before i’m gone

somewhere up in the hills where everything still feels

we are all bound somewhere,

and i’m bound nowhere that you are

but maybe someday

i will learn to open up my arms

soon i’ll be headed for the hills

while everyone is at the mills

this is to tell you why, and to say goodbye

though i’ll be gone before this reaches you

sprawled out in the open fields

i always knew the sun would heal

i heard them call,

and i knew i had to leave before you held me down
