Amy Ray - Pennies On The Track lyrics

Putting pennies on the track, shiny and flat, It was the best we could be, s**y and free. I grow away from myself with each pa**ing bell- With all these new accessories, I just stumble and bleed. For a moment I feel the coldness At the end of a Fall day. I put my hands down deep in my pockets As my body awakes. So I'm heading back to school all brilliant and new, Trying hard to fit in and not to walk like a man. A girl that I never noticed asked me to hold this- A secret too hard to tell and I never will. For a moment I feel the coldness Of everything that's been taken away. I put the phone back in the cradle, I can't make this okay. The damage she'll survive But damn the sacrifice of Every life we've lost Damn all the cost of the a**ault You tied a knot and you dared me, The stem of a cherry, To find my own humanity And just let it breathe. Hold my head up in this moment Keep myself from fading away. Pull my hands out of pockets and Feel my body awake.
