Born Again
Acadiana Trace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a devil on my shoulder
You can cry to
But can't blame anymore
It's quiet in your bedroom
When you walked away, I cut my tongue on what I can't say
Go on tell me Amanda
Why can't I bitch till the sun goes down
Go on tell me Amanda
Why can't I sleep when the sun goes down
I'm running from anything
And I'm hiding from everyone
Watching empire with my brother
Spring of '16 on a couch that felt like home
Can't help that I'm falling backwards
I'm going nowhere with this weight tied to my bones
I'll wake up here tomorrow suspended by the bottle again
You beat me to the bottom
"No hate comes from the bible", you said
I'm running from anything
And I'm hiding from everyone
I'll wake up here tomorrow suspended by the bottle again




I'm home again
They don't know I'm born again
