about

how can I trust you anymore
when your heart has grown cold
and hands begin to show the pain
how could you smile and tell me that I never would fail
I used to dream of an angel
that was carved out of stone
but then you threw that stone away
I'm not in line so don't sell me all your fairy tales
walk with me now to an aging land
and catch the last of the sun
shining down on this dying land that once was free
is that the mockingbird you fed
it left me to weather the storm
cause now your mockingbird is dead
help me I'm out here alone
I am not pretending it's been a life without
of strife or of tears, of comfort so bare
but my hometown war unending, and I question
I question all the things that you've done
you think there's some sort of battle to be won
walk with me now to an aging land
and catch the last of the sun
shining down on this dying land that once was free
once was free, free
is that the mockingbird you fed
it left me to weather the storm
cause now your mockingbird has run away
your mockingbird has flown away
help me am I out here alone
I used to dream of an angel
that was carved out of stone
then you threw that stone away
can you help me be free
