Walking hot coals

The world on my shoulders

I'm scared to drop it

My taught, loose ends

Tied me up into webs

I'm too complex to stomach

And I know you wanna feel better

And I know what that's like

And I know two birds of a feather

Should never have a thorn in their side

But I'm stuck

And I'm not coming out

I'll spend forever watching petals fall

Posting your bail, cursing the ground I walk

My epitaph of habits laughs me to the chopping block

My daily role: the man I know I'm not

Only "hold me" in contempt

Only "want me" dead

And I will let you down

Question my devotion

Interrogate my motives

Leave me better than you found

Leave me better than you found

I'll spend forever watching petals fall

Posting your bail, cursing the ground I walk

My epitaph of habits laughs me to the chopping block

My daily role: the man I know I'm not

I want familiar

I wanna rest assured

I wanna hold on for life till my fingers hurt

I want my guilt exhaled

I wanna tip the scales

I want my default to be one that makes you care

I want familiar

I wanna rest assured

I wanna hold on for life till my fingers hurt

I want my guilt exhaled

I wanna tip the scales

I want my default to be one that makes you care
