What have I been doing?
What good could come from keeping it in?
I’m terrified of losing
But fighting wars a could never win.
I watch the seasons turn it over-
I watch the reasons change over and over
To different words-
But what’s between the lines don’t change.
I have seen my demons.
I have seen their faces- I’ve seen their eyes.
They are things I should be leaving
But in that mirror I see they’re still mine.
I watch the seasons turn it over-
I watch the reasons change over and over
A different day
But the same old suffocate.
So, I feel to lighten up my load, I should explode.
I am far from empty
Cause what you don’t let go is bound to build up
Or take you down a piece by piece-
Man, I’m in desperate need of your love.
In my bones I’m feeling older-
This war time has changed me-
I’m no doubt colder
And I will freeze here long before I burn.
So, I feel to lighten up my load,
I should open up and let the insides show
And explode.
