lyrics

Weeping in my hands on the back of someone’s plans
I could be alone in bed but it’s still crowded in my head
People stop and stare at the monster they’ve prepared
Ten years from a burnt down house, ten faces to care about

"You judge and be judged" that’s the life that I lead
You'll learn and win some if you’re lucky
"You’ll love and be loved" is a tale I was told
When I was a boy dressed in old stories

Moving across the globe with a book and someone’s coat
And ink across my arm to remind me of where you are
My character reborn from the rain and silent storms
Come carry all I ask, these flaws will someday pass

He told me there was something I should be.
Angels and devils hold my sleeve.

You limped across our friends, as I swam towards the west
In the streets after the least, I was sprawled across this desk
Home creeps back in time, old terrors grasp our eyes
When the world cries out at night, you remind me I’m alive.
