I'm but a simple man
I only speak when I can
Tied by the neck
Hanging from my own demands
From long ago I stand
Steady and cold my hands
Saved by the held and damned
Saved by the held and damned

For me to say this clear
I'd pass on every year
All of the time I was here
I wanna leave my dear
I don't want to be near
It's not the tone I fear
This house is a grave for years
I'm not the only one here

And I give you everything
More alive by the spring
I can walk like I'm free
But they feed off of me

Saved by the held and damned
Saved by the held and damned
Saved by the held and damned
Saved by the held and damned
I'm but a simple man
I only speak when I can
Tied by the neck
Hanging from my own demands
From long ago I stand
Steady and cold my hands
Saved by the held and damned
Saved by the held and damned
