"Clean Heart" lyrics

"Clean Heart"

Rolling undercurrent
I used to hide out for days
Holding every note until it breaks

Time, it makes a clean heart
When you're miles away from it all
And the dream is gone

It's only dust
Kicked up and lost
Finding an end in itself
Pulled downstream
Held from beneath
Until the body rebels

Time, it makes a clean heart
When you're miles away from it all
And the dream is gone

Rolling on the surface
I drag my life like a chain
Towing to a cradle held away

The time it takes the find it
A light's left on in the hall
But the curtain's drawn

It's only dust
Kicked up and lost
Finding an end in itself
Pulled downstream
Made to believe
Until you're somebody else

Time, it makes a clean heart
When you're miles away from it all
