  • I learned to keep quiet
    How to keep my distance
    Afraid to let strangers in
    How to keep my secrets
    Did I ever have an idea of what this should have been?
    An unhappy accident
    Longing for an origin

    So let me go
    Where no one can follow
    Lost with my conscience
    Please bury me honest
    The song drones, I drink myself hollow
    Regrets grow regardless
    Please bury me honest

    I promise I'll go with peace, no
    I promise I'll go with peace
    When I'm free (get off the island, get off the island)

    Rejected to the brink
    Only so much I can change
    An artist I wish I could have made
    Am I irrelevant?
    Or will I get a chance to change
    Change the colors permanent?

    So let me go
    Where no one can follow
    Lost with my conscience
    Please bury me honest
    The song drones, I drink myself hollow
    Regrets grow regardless
    Please, please, baby, bury me

    I promise I'll go with peace, oh, no no, oh
    I promise I'll go with peace
    When I'm free
    When I'm free

    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go

    So let me go
    Where no one can follow
    Lost with my conscience
    Please bury me honest
    The song drones, I drink myself hollow
    Regrets grow regardless
    Please bury me honest

    I promise I'll go with peace
    Oh, no no, oh
    I promise I'll go with peace

    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go

    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
    Peace to the mountain, girl, I'm gonna go, go
