Unhaunted
by John Mark McMillan

Album: Mercury & Lightning

In the cradle of the deep
Did you say my name?
My particles responded
My body, she sang

I, I don't want to be unhaunted
I, I don't want to be unhaunted

Here in the darkness we relent
Out on the porch with the government
Everybody calls for a covenant
But nobody's drawing blood
I've been thinking about what it means
You say that you never get used to it
On the shores of the heaven bent
With who I thought I was
Oh, I don't wanna live like this
Something's got to give
I don't want to be unhaunted

In the cradle of the deep
Did you call my bluff
My chemicals responded
My body gave up

I, I don't want to be unhaunted, my love
I, I don't want to be unhaunted

Here in the darkness we relent
Out on the porch with the government
Everybody calls for a covenant
But nobody's drawing blood
I've been thinking about what it means
You say that you never get used to it
On the shores of the heaven bent
With who I thought I was
Oh, I don't wanna live like this
Something's got to give
I don't want to be unhaunted

Oh, I don't wanna live like this
Something's got to give
I don't want to be unhaunted

Oh, I don't wanna live like this
Something's got to give
I don't want to be unhaunted

Do you drive around town in a dreamlike state
Talking to the thoughts, your body can't shake?
You say I'm lost but maybe I'm late
But where are you my friend?
Have you seen your own face
Do you drive around town in a dreamlike state
Talking to the thoughts that your body can't shake?

In the cradle of the deep
Did you say my name?
My particles responded
My body, she sang

I, I don't want to be unhaunted, my love
I, I don't want to be unhaunted

Oh, I don't wanna live like this
Something's got to give
I don't want to be unhaunted

Oh, I don't wanna live like this
Something's got to give
I don't want to be unhaunted
