Captive Son

Asleep in a chair, the razor burn a reminder that here sits a new man

Left with nothing but a Bible that stays shut for peace of mind
Cause if you open up too much, you'll get a twisted spine
And anywhere back home is just a place to hold your head up high
Cause you're the man who took the bait to go on a hunt with fate
See it's all about the distance, holding our weapons towards the sky
And if the dark clouds continue to billow
Our way, we say "As long as it wasn't me"

Sing praises over these ugly chords
And tune and store what it means to learn to walk in peace
Only if it's seen as an intrigue
But have a thought of waking from this tuneful game
And make a stand for your thoughts
Perhaps a vengeful god would be appeased

Dreams I dream, and now I'm strong enough to say
My name's of no use to you
I made you no home, as I made any beneath the stars
So carry on away renewed

I was called to love your worst enemies
And my last ditch remains off the battlefield
And this crooked back remains here to this day
But the conflict stays contained inside of me
