house arrest

(album: grow your hair long if you're wanting to see something that you can change - 2022)

Lay your head down child
Let the years progress
You went against mother's wishes
Wound up on house arrest
There's no use looking back now
Being pulled from the wreck
You've always been an impulsive spirit
Now you pay your debt
You've always been an impulsive spirit

But one day there will come a morning
When you wake up from this bad dream
Grow your hair long if you're wanting
To see something that you can change
Grow your hair long in mourning

Sometimes there's no reason
It's just unfortunate
That you must cry in a private panic
With no hope of revenge
Only in sleep your weightless
Exhumed of all consequence
You contemplate blowing all the lights out
To never rise again
You contemplate blowing all the lights out

But one day there will come a morning
When you wake up from this bad dream
Grow your hair long if you're wanting
To see something that you can change
Grow your hair long if you're wanting
To see something that you can change
Grow your hair long in mourning

Lay your head down child
Let the years progress
You went against mother's wishes
Wound up on house arrest
