Possession

I've got to lose this possession of mine

I've got to learn some way I can leave it behind

Feel it, sparrow, this cold and heavy thing

Cursing your freedom, leaving you with tattered wings

I lose control, my shadows unfold and they smother you

A darkness rushing through

It comes down to me, what I think of myself

It isn't enough and I ain't been doin' nothin' that helps

I am bound, wrapped up in my past

And back here it's certain no love will ever last

I lose control, my shadows unfold and they smother you

A bird in the sky, a shiver inside, the fear consumed

A darkness rushing through

Yeah, I got to lose this possession of mine

I got to learn some way I can leave it behind

I'm sorry, sparrow, I could not put it down

I stand here lookin' back at all the love I drowned
