From the recording Hidden Doors
Lyrics
ERASE ME
come let me drown
in turpentine rain, let it cover my town
and wash away the stains
'til all that remains
is brilliant green
no rivers of tar and no coughing machines
I want to be free, I'm tired of me
and I have had my reign
erase me, erase me and make me again
from the earth
erase me
and capture the king
and carry him out still kicking and screaming
and tear down his rules
and his court full of fools
'cause I have had my reign
erase me, erase me and make me again
from the dirt
erase me
and forgive me, I've stayed too long
grown old and too bold and too strong
but still too weak now to right these wrongs
‘cause I have had my reign
erase me, erase me and make me again
from the earth
erase me
and I have had my reign
erase me, erase me and make me again
from the dirt
erase me
