I never taught my spirit how to bend before it breaks And then comedown's always easier when the worst part is over with And I'm not sore from a backbend, I'm just shattered on the floor 'Cause I know I can't withstand the winds of war There are threads of darkness and they're creeping down my spine And a figure stands behind me, always slightly to the right But he's holding me together and he's gotten me this far I can't have an exorcism, if I did I'd fall apart I'll follow the winding road It'll take me through Idaho And I don't know how, but I know The place I return to, it won't be my home To miss a touch you've never known It's like I can feel you grasping at my bones And I'm grateful for all the grace that you've shown You proved to a skeptic we're truly not alone There's a black dog chasing me, he can never quite catch up Filled with an eternal hunger, I would never be enough But he doesn't seem to know that, and he never seems to stop And his presence shifts the focus from what I am to what I'm not There is far too much of me, so which parts can I let go? I'll try to starve the devil out or catch him in my throat Remain an unnamed evil, a hatchet buried deep Known only in those silver lines and the secrets that I keep I'll follow the winding road It'll take me through Idaho And I don't know how, but I know The place I return to, it won't be my home To miss a touch you've never known It's like I can feel you grasping at my bones And I'm grateful for all the grace that you've shown You proved to a skeptic we're truly not alone In the forest where the black dog finally lays down with the lamb It won't be like what they describe, I can only hope you'll understand They have to die together and they can't exist apart And they'll start to rot away within the shadows of your heart I am the dog, I am the lamb, the forest lives inside me It's my blood that sustains them and it's really me they're fighting I have to keep them both alive and learn to deal with it 'Cause the day that they stop breathing is the day I cease to leave I'll follow the winding road It'll take me through Idaho And I don't know how, but I know The place I return to, it won't be my home To miss a touch you've never known It's like I can feel you grasping at my bones And I'm grateful for all the grace that you've shown You proved to a skeptic we're truly not alone No we're never alone
