lyrics

Born into my mother's arms.
To keep me safe from harm.
Harm from anything and anyone.
Born with my father's yellow gut.
With hope in a failed cut.
I surrender, I give up.
I surrender, I give up.
So lonely.
Throw the ropes over the rafters.
Let them see how much it hurts.
Such fragile skin, for a boy, at the age of twelve.
So scared and alone.
My small hands couldn't tie the rope.
In that damned dark garage.
So I stepped down.
A coward in my mind.
A failure at heart.
How can I take it one day at a time.
If tomorrow's exactly the same as today.
Every starry might sky, every flower in bloom.
Cornered, crowned by shame in a circular room.
This is not how it ends.
This is not how it ended.
If I white-wash the past perhaps we can mend it.
This is not how it ends.
This is not how it ends.
But when one chapter closes, another begins.
From time to time I think of those demons, my fear.
And how I couldn't shake it.
But there is beauty in this world.
And I'll be searching til I die.
And that's okay.
Better holes in my shoes than a hole in my heart.
Better holes in my shoes than a hole in my heart.
It's fair to say that I'm still scared.
But I swear I'll return when the grass and leaves are no longer grounded, but blowing in breeze.
With the sun shining bright.
Growing flowers from bone.
Can I learn to make peace with the dust as my home.
I'm still scared.
