The Perennials — Jonah lyrics

Lyrics

Run like a coward and hide like a villain
Pack up your bags and throw everything in ‘em
Stick to the back roads and move through the city
Cover your tracks ‘cause you know they’re not pretty
It’s the end of the road and you placed all your bets
Take one more step to see how far you’ll get
It’s the end of the road and you swallow your pride
A little too late and you’re washed in the tide
Where will you go?
You burned all your bridges and hardened your heart
And for three long days, you’re alone in the dark
Everyone’s left you they figured you out
Even death doesn’t want you and spits you back out
You’re all washed up and you spit and you cough
You pick yourself up and you dust yourself off
Wait for a while and pretend to be patient
You don’t give a damn about love or salvation
Where will you go?
The roots of the mountains weigh heavy on me
The heat of the sun and the depths of the sea
The mud of the ground and the plants of the deep
Are like ropes on my hands and chains on my feet
Where will you go?
