March In September

(album: Between Dog And Wolf - 2013)

There was always something holding you back
Some other world that was calling
Maybe in the mountains where you stretched your arms
Without fear of falling
They tried to bring you their love and fear
But you would never receive it
I tried to tell you that you had everything that you need
But you would never believe it

So you tried to make family
But nothing was given
So you gave them your own blood
For theirs had been stolen
Yeah, you tried to make family
But nothing was given
So you gave them your own blood
And all of it stolen

You took the water from the wishing well
You never saw that you shouldn't
You tried to break all the bad in the world
You never saw that you couldn't
You can count up everything that you have
It never stops the craving
Ain't it always the ones that want to be saved
That do all of the saving

So you tried to make family
But nothing was given
So you gave them your own blood
For theirs had been stolen
Yeah, you tried to make family
But nothing was given
So you gave them your own blood
And all of it stolen
