lyrics

LANDLOCKED STATE

Never a choice provided
Straight were the stalks
where crooked I grew
Taught of the evils of my way...

Sharp like a birdcall
Sweet is the ache
I sink below
A river of stones I hide away...

Becomes a lake...

Please tell me how
I'll make it out
though beaten and
I'm broken
My long escape
This landlocked state
can't hold me in
-- I flood my banks!

Secrets, they move so swiftly
Over these
undulating hills
Just like the whispers of the leaves

Fences of barbed-wire
Crossing my heart
lay claim to the land
Leaving no country free to roam...

You take my home...

Please tell me how
I'll make it out
though beaten and
I'm broken
My long escape
This landlocked state
can't hold me in
-- I flood my banks!
