lyrics

These shoes have some miles left before their soles wear out
And I'm in a similar state
A little bit worn and not pretty 'round the edges
But my soul is still kickin' like a jackass in the rain

The season's getting cold and the fields are all frozen in the sleet
The fire's burning down so stoke the coals and huddle close for heat

These hands have some strength left before their palms wear out
And I'm not sure I feel the same
I've been so many places that nothing seems familiar
Now I'm anchored 'round the neck in a wasteland that nobody claims

Teach a man to hunt and he'll sustain himself 'till help comes around
But teach a man to drink and he'll drown himself slowly in the dregs of his grief

I've been sitting on train tracks
Just dreaming that they'd take me home
To a place without air drenched in tension
I see lights through the branches
Beckoning me with their hands
"Forget everything, don't even leave a memory"
I look to the stars and reluctantly open my heart
I feel worn and all I want is just to stay here
But the voices outside are less loud than the ones in my head
I can't focus, can't keep it all together
So if I was an airplane, I'd fly just to find space to breath
Without choking on the questions I can't answer
Because I'm weak and I doubt almost every single second
That everything I know could be true when it feels like its
Not
Even angry, just asking why I feel so scared?
I'm catching rubble as the walls start to cave in
But I don't even mind the boulders and kind
It's the dust
I'm not scared of death, just scared of being blind
