Oracle Song

Lyrics for Oracle Song

I saw you standing from afar A child in the stream Wading in the tears of every Convict on the street I saw figures forming 'round you And I'm worried that they'll kill Your glowing skin, unknowing eyes What hasn't happened to you yet? You're surrounded by the same men That ended me When I was seventeen They'll say your trial's going public To choose one witness from the dream You've had tucked inside your untouched heart Before you were even seen You'll speak your truth out loud Not knowing what it means And then they'll steal your intuition And call it state property You're surrounded by the same men That ended me When I was seventeen You'll keep your body and restore your soul Six times in your life, each time will be more bold And I'd give you every inch I have To keep that first soul from going bad They'll twist your head and hold your hand To keep you from going too far Before you're turned around into a knot And you've forgotten who you are Each sings an oracle song Before forgetting who we are You'll keep your body and restore your soul Six times in your life, each time will be more bold And I'd give you every inch I have To keep that first soul from going bad
