Can't Go Back

from Damned Inheritance by Hugo Grayling

/

lyrics

You can't go back when you find out it's true,
You can't go back, when it happens to you--
You can't go back, you can't go back.

You can't go back in the shadows of kings,
You can't go back when they ask you for things;
You can't go back. You can't go back.

When the easiest thing to do is
When you stare at the moon and pretend that it's questioning you,
you can't go back; you can't go back.
When the swell of your self-deceit becomes the
Hand of a god who you caught slipping answers to me
You can't go back; you can't go back.


You can't go back to the church on the hill,
You can't go back, 'til you're silent and still
( " " )

You can't go back to the dome of the rock;
You can't go back, 'til you've broken the lock
( " " )

When your promises eat you up and you can't relax
For the fear that your fear's making off with your stuff...
( " " )
When the heaviness gets too great, and you're all alone,
Wide awake, cracking jokes as you're crushed by the weight
( " " ).

You can't go back when the answer is no.
You can't go back, 'cause there's nowhere to go;
( " " ).

You can't go back to a simple Amen,
You can't go back and begin it again--
( " " ).
