Album: Fortress

Elvis

I'll go away
I'll go on my wordless way
Don't say anything
Say nothing, just leave me.

I've been merely, an actor
In your painful play.
But I feel too much to stay.
Just cast me out.

Pre chorus
You can have the dishes
You can have the jacked up car.
And take the book on meditation
I'll just take home what I brought,

Chorus
My, big painted velvet Elvis...

Well take it away
Take it all away
Don't leave anything
Leave nothing, except me

'cause I've been sadly misinformed
I thought it mattered a little more than this
I wish I was a thousand miles away...

Pre chorus/ chorus

Well I'm frozen here
Caged in silence
It's better that I
Regret these words
Than to stand aside
And watch your tragic
Storyline unfold...
Just let me go

Pre chorus/ chorus

Well you took my heart
And you took my soul
And you used me,
I've had plenty of that.
It gets harder and harder
And farther and farther
From what I need for me.
