When You Go Lyrics

When You Go

from Canary in a Coal Mine by Anna Vogelzang
there's a shadow
growing in your oldest bones
ripping through the mends you've sewn
and it'll kill you

so put your claws on,
gather up your armor
you were built with superpowers
it gets better

where will you go
where will you go
with all your bravery,
with endless s***e to roam
where will you go
where will you go
just get away from the din, child
trace it back to the source

there's a journey
of leaving between here and there
you'll pass through a couple county fairs
and it might cost you

but go to the water,
drive until the road ends
bow down to the altar
of this hallowed, sacred mess
where will you go
where will you go
with all your bravery,
with endless s***e to roam
where will you go
where will you go
just get away from the din, child
trace it back to the source

I will love you
no matter how far the lands you've crossed
no matter how many battles lost
you are eternal

you brave the silence
and I will shed this shame and fear
but just before you disappear
remember who you belong to
where will you go
where will you go
with all your bravery,
with endless s***e to roam
where will you go
where will you go
when you go
when you go
