Tanner Lee - Bridget Bishop

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1993732
Here I find myself once again
But this time I′m not lost
Im stuck in my head
When all the days were dark
I fell astray from the truth
If you've ever hit the bottom
You know what a human could do
Without a clue
That woman stood tall, her neck bound by a noose
Only god and her knew
So they dropped the barrel
Every pitchfork′s pointed at you
You were tried and the town came after you
So you swore you'd never die
You live on through the words that may not be true
They let fear destroy their minds
So take a walk in these woods
And you may never come out
Used to think I knew everything
But I know nothing now
Fetch water straight from the source
Or poison everyone around
To think of Bridget Bishop
And how evil brought her down
Breathe it in, exhale slow
Feel the energy within your soul
Feel at home
Collect herbs fill up my basket
Infuse elements into bottles & glasses
To feel the light never knew it was so bright
What determines if a person's evil at heart?
Bewitching pigs? Scare children? sleep with men in the dark?
To think that after her 18 others followed suit
In all morality
Ye harm none, do what ye will
Without a clue
That woman stood tall
Her last words if we only knew
Maybe god knows the truth
Still they drop the barrel
Every torch flame′s pointed at you
You were tried and the town came after you
So you swore you′d never die
You live on through the words that may not be true
They let fear destroy their minds
So take a walk in these woods
And you may never come out
Used to think I knew everything
But I know nothing now
Fetch water straight from the source
Or poison everyone around
To think of Bridget Bishop
Being mobbed by her town
Breathe it in, exhale slow
Feel the energy within your soul
Feel at home
Collect herbs fill up my basket
Infuse elements into bottles and glasses
To feel the light never knew it was so bright
