Forced to Stay - Knocked Loose

Bound to the trunk of a tree stretched out for miles

Cast a shadow on all I know of life

I can’t seem to shake the thought

The light is taken by the hearse

It’s a lesson never learned

Everyday is getting worse

I dissolve into the pain

Pour myself into the guilt

Hanging over me like skies of rain

All the blood that I have spilt

Carried you to heaven’s gate

I am forced to stay

A celebration

The finale of life

The marriage between

Soil and bride

The blood denies the rose

To carry only memories of loss

A vigil on the side of the road

Her body now belongs to the cross

I am judged and set on fire

At the stand, falling deaf to their cries

The bleating of a hundred voices

In unison asking me why

Why did I take a chance and gamble life?

Every sign points me back to the dorm

In my head, you say «I told you so»

We should’ve left before the storm

The rain washes you away

The rain washes you away

The rain washes you away (Forced to stay)

The rain washes you away (Forced to stay)

The rain washes you away (Forced to stay)

The rain washes you away (Forced to stay)
