Joseph Lyrics by Autoheart

I Can Build a Fire

2016

[Verse 1: Jody Gadsden]
Joseph was talking, grooming a rumor
He said, "Somebody drowned the other day"
That somebody was me, but I never drowned
I just simply slipped away

(I just simply slipped away)

So if you need me, I’m sorry
'Cause I’m not around anymore
I’ll never tell you what I’m thinking
You don’t deserve to know

[Chorus: Jody Gadsden & Anne Haight]
You came through stumbling hard, I knew
Mumbling words untrue, only to undo
All the good I had achieved, you would
Stampede all over it, because you could

[Verse 2: Anne Haight]
Joseph had captured a bird without wings
Writing in gold, making shapes in the fire
His anger met silence, a death in the woods
My freedom was mine again, mine again, all mine

[Pre-Chorus: Jody Gadsden & Anne Haight]
You won’t find me crying
So don’t you feel sorry for me
All that I have is in my head
And all that you took you can have

[Chorus: Jody Gadsden and Anne Haight]
You came through stumbling hard, I knew
Mumbling words untrue, only to undo
All the good I had achieved, you would
Stampede all over it, because you could

You came through stumbling hard, I knew
Mumbling words untrue, only to undo
All the good I had achieved, you would
Stampede all over it, because you could

[Bridge: Jody Gadsden & Anne Haight]
You don't heal me

You don’t heal me
Like you used to
You don't heal me
Like you used to

You don't heal me no more
You don't heal me no more
You don't heal me no more

You don't heal me
Like you used to
You don't heal me

[Outro: Anne Haight]
You don't heal me like you used to
You don't heal me no more
I don't need you like I used to
You can't cure me like before
