Leave My Body

Florence And The Machine · Ceremonials [2011]

I'm gonna be released from behind these lines

And I don't care whether I live or die

And I'm losing blood, I'm gonna leave my bones

And I don't want your heart it leaves me cold



I don't want your future

I don't need your past

One bright moment

Is all I ask



I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my mind

(History keeps pulling me down)

Said I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my mind

(History keeps pulling me, pulling me down)



I don't need a husband, don't need no wife

And don't need the day, I don't need the night

And I don't need the birds let them fly away

And I don't want the clouds, they never seem to stay



I don't want no future

I don't need no past

One bright moment

Is all I ask



I don't want your future

I don't need your past

One bright moment

Is all I ask



I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my mind

(History keeps pulling me down)

Said I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my, lose my mind

(History keeps pulling me, pulling me down)



Pulling me down

Pulling me down

Pulling me, pulling me down



I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my mind

(History keeps pulling me down)

Said I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my mind

(History keeps pulling me, pulling me down)



Yeah, said I'm gonna leave my body

(Moving up to higher ground)

I'm gonna lose my mind

(History keeps pulling me down)

(Moving up to higher ground)

(History keeps pulling me, pulling me down)
