Safe And Sound
mighty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What I erased so fortunately
The keg that you stood on from the mountain party
I'm bleached to my bones
Take my records to the throne
Honey drops on my tongue
It christens my crown

Open up safe and sound
Pull your roots from the ground
Do you go around?
Open up safe and sound
Pull your roots from the ground
Do you go around taking notes on the town?

Well I've erased so desperately
The mark that you made from the mountain party
I'm bleached to my core
Tarred and feathered as a whore
Honey drops on my tongue
It christens my crown

Tell me who
Tell me where




Tell me what
Who's to blame?
