Ryan Acker - Chippewa Pine Lyrics

Empty hands, empty hearts, Mother tell me where to start
I am not a refugee but I'll chase my tail into the dark, chase my tail into the dark
Starting over, four leaf clover, its raining salt over my shoulder
Hot or cold I'll never know if I'm running away or getting closer
Running away or getting closer

So bury me in effigy, but leave a mark so I can see
The war that I silenced inside, the ashes that fell from the sky
Burning that Chippewa Pine

Heavy horns, crown of thorns, that burning bridge will keep you warm
Tell me is it coming true, life can be a crooked bone
Life can be a crooked bone

Too f*cked up or stone sober, its raining stars over my shoulder
I have come to let you know don't run away, you're getting closer
Don't run away, you're getting closer

So bury me in effigy, but leave a mark so I can see
The war that I silenced inside, the ashes that fell from the sky
Burning that Chippewa Pine
