Lyrics
The Sliver
Bows and arrows
Birds fallen in mid flight
With me/Without me
In your compartment locked inside
Am I so shallow
You think you can just dive through?
You don’t want me around
Your ceramic gallery
It’s a deep deep hurt
The one your daddy planted
He drew you in
Only to leave in an instant
Another sacrifice
Won’t secure your freedom
You don’t want me around
To pull out the sliver
Come into my arms
Feel loved, healed and forgiven
But you don’t want me around
You shoot your bow and arrows
You don’t want me around
To pull out the sliver
You don’t want me around
Will you ever forgive him?
You don’t want me around
