Sleeper Hillbound Lyrics

things have been alright up here on the surface
but now i must dive down, before you waste my time
we leave ourselves behind in those we set aside
right now you may not mind, but i think you will in time

we are all bound somewhere,
and i’m bound nowhere that you are
but maybe someday
i will learn to open up my arms

soon i’ll be headed for the hills
while everyone is at the mills
this is to say goodbye, and to tell you why
though i’ll be gone before this reaches you
sprawled out in the open fields
i always knew the sun would heal
i heard them call,
and i knew i had to go before you held me down

it couldn’t rain enough to wash you from my skin so now i’ll do the best that i can to start over again
time keeps pressing on, won’t be long before i’m gone
somewhere up in the hills where everything still feels

we are all bound somewhere,
and i’m bound nowhere that you are
but maybe someday
i will learn to open up my arms

soon i’ll be headed for the hills
while everyone is at the mills
this is to tell you why, and to say goodbye
though i’ll be gone before this reaches you
sprawled out in the open fields
i always knew the sun would heal
i heard them call,
and i knew i had to leave before you held me down
