Eldest 11 - Swamps lyrics

I remember watching you stand at
The edge of the water eyes glazed
I felt so helpless inside i felt
The strain in my eyes
I watched a soul purge a life
The dark clouds always surround me
It's in the fight that sometimes I
Gave up and didn't try
I owe my teachers everything
For keeping me alive
When everything in this life just
Wanted me to die

I close my eyes
That deep tortured soul is mine
There is no God here
Just me in the woods and nothing to fear

I'm from the Swamps and this is my home
(What you know about a mercy
Killing for something you love?)
I'm from the Swamps some never make it home
You're on your own
(If you SINK YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN)
I'm from the Swamps where wrong
Turns make you whole
(Toughen up or get Roughed up buttercup)
I'm from the Swamps deep in my Rabbit Hole
Where love is severed in the mud and cold

I love the murky water dangerous and untold
Steady as she goes
Taking off our Church Clothes
Toss them in the water, see if they float
Pull out our knives and put in boats
From pillar to post blood
Soaked and brave souls echoes of ghosts
When it comes to love anything goes

I close my eyes
That deep tortured soul is mine
There is no God here
Just me with in the woods and nothing to fear

I'm from the Swamps and this is my home
(What you know about a mercy
Killing for something you love?)
I'm from the Swamps some never make it home
You're on your own
(If you SINK YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN)
I'm from the Swampswhere wrong
Turns make you whole
(Toughen up or get Roughed up buttercup)
I'm from the Swamps deep in my Rabbit Hole
Where love is severed in the mud and cold
