Shake Lyrics by Gallows Bound

Appalachian Witch

0

[Verse 1]
Shake the devil off your shoulder
Come on down and raise your head
Who’s gonna pick it up if you didn't?
Staring at the wishing well
Low down like a sinking penny, waiting
Time is slipping through your hands
Salvation, it ain’t coming
Get off your knees and stand

[Bridge]
Go on traveling down that road
Find what you're looking for so you can let it go
You can walk a thousand miles
Only to find what you are is what you leave behind
Oh, leave behind

[Verse 2]
And every day is so uncertain
What and who’s lying up ahead
Keep it going, yeah, moving on
And learn to walk again
So, shake that devil off your shoulder
No scapegoat for idle hands
What do you get when you go shaming
Someone else for what you’ve been
For what you've been

[Chorus]
There is no penance
Woah, there is no, no sin
Just what you take
Oh, and what you, what you give
Find your own way
Don't go inflicting punishment for some forgiveness
No forgiveness

[Interlude: Jordan, Jesse, Jordan & Jesse]
Shake the devil off your shoulder
Come on down and raise your head
Who’s gonna pick it up if you didn't?
Staring at the wishing well
Shake that devil off your shoulder
No scapegoat for idle hands
What do you get when you go shaming
Someone else for what you’ve been
Shake the devil off your shoulder (Go on traveling down that)
Come on down and raise your head (Down that road and)
Who’s gonna pick it up if you didn't? (Find what you're looking for)
Staring at the wishing well (And let it go)
Shake that devil off your shoulder (You can walk a thousand)
No scapegoat for idle hands (Thousand miles)
What do you get when you go shaming (Only to find)
Someone else for what you’ve been (What you are is what you leave behind)
Oh, leave behind

[Chorus]
Ooh, oh oh oh
Find your own way
Don't go inflicting punishment for some forgiveness
No forgiveness
