Antebellum

Antebellum I:

those broken bells ring for frozen hands in a bed of leaves
a black cat and the sea begins to swallow me

i'm still in the flood under your skin
the waves no hit slower but still like a brick
o lord let me drown

you gave up on me
my whole world stopped between your teeth

i've learned nothing in your abscence
i could drive for hours down your veins
no i've learned nothing while you were away
o lord Jesus, i'm ready
lord Jesus, i'm ready
lord Jesus please i'm ready
and i've learned nothing in your abscence, not a single thing
and i imagine you in the park
and i've got nothing to say
no i'll never change
lord Jesus, please i'm ready, give me your hand
lord Jesus i'm ready
i'm ready
i'm ready
i'm ready

Antebellum II:

now that we are free
where do we go from here?
the girls are all in tears
i thought you had all you need
the world itself is sick
with fury and hatefullness
them bells will ring again
once the flood took it all away
now lets all build anew
with all of our broken tools
