Anne J Tifah - Tradition Lyrics

There's a cornerstone
It's a button I push
That keeps me around
Desperate guardian
Little wings
Iron faith in little things
Cover me in light
There's a punch card
It's a button I push
That keeps me around
Get the picture right
With child eyes
Bury me with everything
I couldn't fit in my head
There's always been that
Tone of voice
That makes my walls go higher
I can't be held to blame for
How fast I can disappear
Plant a seed
And gather your joy
Did you inherit the flame in your chest
Or have you lost your tempest
Who says
Which chains
Go unbroken
Who says
Which chains
Go unbroken
There's a conversation
It's a button I push
That keeps me around
Nailing my demands
To the inside of the brig
If you wake up next to me
Tell the heretic to let me sleep
There's a wisdom
It's a button I push
That keeps me around
Only fools remember
What time will always take
Spread their wings to any wind
A cardinal to the sin
Plant a good seed
And gather your joy
Did you inherit the flame in your chest
Or have you just lost your tempest
Who says
Which chains
Go unbroken
Who says
Which chains
Go unbroken
Some chains
Must remain
Unbroken
But some days
The burden fades
And I lift a finger
And float away
There's a tradition
It's a button I push
That keeps me around
She looks me in the eye
Like a newborn child
Born to be my best
Born to become a tempest
Who says
Which chains
Go unbroken
Who says
Which chains
Go unbroken
