lyrics

I woke up with a fever, getting sicker from the weight of this life
Love was a church that vied for my allegiance, as if I was gaining access to Christ.
You were the first to cut deep, I was blinded—so to speak— by the silence in your delicate eyes.
If in another life, I’d stand up and fight, but I‘m cut like a coward so I stayed by your side.

I’ve got boards and nails and ropes, but none can fix the shit you broke.
Why frame a soul, just to watch the whole thing explode?
You couldn’t explain yourself anymore.

To my friends, I’m a dweller—a sucker who kept only half of his heart.
They didn’t know your brand of evil, and despite it, try to love who you are.
My oversight, and loss I’d say, is outweighed by regret and by shame
So still I cringe on the sidewalks in public when someone else shares your name.

I’ve got boards and nails and ropes, but none can fix the shit you broke.
Why frame a soul, just to watch the whole thing explode?
You couldn’t explain yourself anymore.

I’ve got boards and nails and ropes, but none can fix the shit you broke.
Why frame a soul, just to watch the whole thing explode?
You couldn’t explain yourself anymore.

For my wife, I’m the husband that you always wanted me to be.
She looks to where my boots are pointed, despite the trails of footprints I see.
Our kids our strong—with features you’d admire—raised in strict vernacular.
In desolate moments, I wonder where I would be if you were who I thought you were.
