Jolie Holland - Stubborn Beast lyrics

My sullen songs have taken me Far down this darkened road I have seen the campfires burning I have heard the drunkards howl I'm silent in my solitude I'm quiet as a theif I have stolen all these hours I have gotten no relief My crazy dreams and tragedies have taken me for a ride But I can see strange glory on the other side Oh this has been my misery and the source of my pride But all along I'm thinking I've been taken for a ride Why don't you take me when I'm willing Why don't you take me when I'm willing But like a stubborn beast when the barn is on fire I might resist you when you try to save my life I might resist you when you try to save my life When the flames rise around us and I can't see the door This is still my home and it has never burned before This is where I've taken my solace and my peace The walls are caving in but I am still a stubborn beast Why don't you take me when I'm willing Why don't you take me when I'm willing
