New Live version recorded at Union Hall June 20th 2014

ELIZA (Live at Union Hall)

I've been burning my whole life down      
Waiting for the axe to fall
Reaching for my brothers and my sisters arms
But I'm an only child on the farm
We try to run so far from the places that make us who we are
But it's hard not to turn around
And it's so easy to be let down

I hope that angry moon’s gonna turn around
I got my back up against the wall
And I'm just waiting for the axe to fall
Yeah my backs up against the wall
And I'm just waiting for the axe

To fall down and break me
To bleed out poisonous me
Set me on fire  
Throw me in the water
Give me a son 
Give me a daughter
But please don't let them be like me

I got a heart that flows like a river
But the river doesn't give a damn
Over rocks and the ones it drowns
The only way it flows is down
What kind of pain makes it feel better
Till the river runs to the shore
Where the tides pull you back down in
If your a sucker looking for a friend

I hope that angry moon’s gonna turn around
I got my back up against the wall
And I'm just waiting for the axe to fall
Yeah my backs up against the wall
And I'm just waiting for the axe

To fall down and break me
To bleed out poisonous me
Set me on fire  
Throw me in the water
Give me a son 
Give me a daughter
But please don't let them be like me

Leave me in a lullaby
Leave me with a clue so I can mend
I don't want to break before I bend

I've been burning my whole life down
Just waiting for the axe to fall
Singing my brothers and my sisters songs
They're the only thing that keeps me going
Tried to run so far from the things that made me who I am
But it's hard not to turn around
And it's so easy to need a friend

I hope that angry moon’s gonna turn around
I got my back up against the wall
And I'm just waiting for the axe to fall
Yeah my backs up against the wall
And I'm just waiting for the axe

To fall down and break me
To bleed out poisonous me
Set me on fire  
Throw me in the water
Give me a son 
Give me a daughter
But please don't let them be like me
Oh Please let them see
That we're only as good as we want to be.
