Surrounded

I was born in the state where my mother was raised With the children of soldiers, the children of slaves And it's too much to take, the mind how it breaks The lessons the stories the shame and the glories and all They linger 'round Foxes and hounds Our souls are bound To older ground Fell in love with a girl who's found love before In the hands and the hearts of the people she wore She's all that I see, but there's things in between The fractures and fissures of all of the pictures we leave They linger 'round Foxes and hounds They're with me now Can't lay them down And I feel it all around, I'm surrounded And I feel it all around, I'm surrounded And I feel it all around, I'm surrounded by ghosts So we keep them at home, the secrets and bones The voices we hear so we're never alone They tease and they taunt, comfort and haunt My mother and father and so many I'll never know They linger 'round Foxes and hounds My hands are bound And I feel it all around, I'm surrounded And I feel it all around, I'm surrounded And I feel it all around, I'm surrounded by ghosts --- Surrounded - Delta Rae
