Sam Beam - Know the Wild that Wants You lyrics

when you were a boy you stuck your thumb inside the light morning bottle warm holy compa** ready you would run into the wild into the wild gathered in its arms in its arms in its arms when you're in the city you're a tangled native tongue another tongue eating fear for free know the wild that wants you know you're not another pillow on a gun drifting off to sleep and come home and come home feel your own bones say "heal yourself, yourself" hear your own heart moan "love yourself, yourself" when you were a girl salt was beading down your back and all the braids were tangled in your hair candy for your lips and for your love all you were given was a bruise falling down the stairs when you're in the city and it's talking to itself, to itself stealing what you sing know the wild that wants you when the sun is underground and park police are laughing off your leaves hear your own bones say "heal yourself, yourself" hear your own heart moan "love yourself, yourself and come home, and come home and come home, and come home"
