Calm My Soul

I've seen too much this year
I long for it to pass
The type of memories
That turn our hearts to glass

My mother made me well
My father worked the land
In dust my ribs were formed
And I'll return again

Calm my soul
Calm my soul

We are bonded of the earth
Its body and its breath
We hurt the ones we love
And we won't when we pretend, God

Calm my soul
Calm my soul
Who bleeds more

I won't be high for too long
Now I will lead the way
I have strayed, I have strayed, strayed away
If you've love in haste
Thinking only of the cost
Every river leads to land
Every lover to a cross
You lighted hearted war
And they thrash inside your lips
Like and arrow passing through
Your tongue can kill or it can kiss
