Let Me Go

My clothes are ripped and torn
 I keep falling on my knee
 Like a butterfly to chloroform
 Praying to be free
 The sidewalk gets high off my blood
 It chews and chews it like gum
 Without hunger, without love
 Even after the flavor's gone
 Threw all my change in the oceans
 Worn-out Dixie cup
 To take my prayer up to the mountain
 Please don't trip me up
 Just let me go
 Once I had a house made of stone
 I lived high above the dirt
 Now I stumble down a road of bone
 From those who could not be hurt
 Threw my fortune at the feet
 Of the beautiful old soak
 All he does is drink and eat
 Every word and every note
 Let them go
 Throw away all you have
 For the dream that takes you down
 All your trash, all your cash
 For the dream that takes you down
 There's nothing behind the disguise
 But untouchable grace
 You think the pretty picture
 Wears your pretty face
 Just let it go
