Let's start this off by saying I know I'm a lucky guy
The life's so tough, I get back up and give another try, I swear
Three in the morning, crooning upstairs
I'm tryna serenade her and speak the truth
Think back to times when I wouldn't dare to move
I wouldn't open the door for anything
It's so easy to forget
So take it step-by-step, stay on my feet
Let 'em burn, let effigy
If the ground is hollow underneath, I can't let it get to me
Keep the pace, and steady my breath
Only the ravens sing for what's left
This is no one's fantasy
But when the gavel comes down, then I better know my
And in due time
We were answering before we even knew the crime, I swear
The crowd ran out, and I couldn't help but to stare
I felt the air filling with certain doom
Ripe like a fruit, hangin' a crooked Moon
Dropping the curtain for all the empty seats
No, oh
And in the dimly light, I saw a child beckon me, he wouldn't meet my eyes
I dare you to get close, he said
I'll tell a secret if you stay a while, better yet
And I thought I should escape this madness instead
Even the stage was singing like lead, but I couldn't stand to leave
It's so easy to forget
So take it step-by-step, stay on my feet
Let 'em burn, let effigy
If the ground is hollow underneath, I can't let it get to me
Keep the pace, and steady my breath
Only the ravens sing for what's left
This is no one's fantasy
But when the gavel comes down, then I better know myself, I
Know we don't talk anymore
But I'm covered in this dirt, and I forget that there's no remedy
So I'm left to close my eyes and breathe
Is it okay if I need help?
Lost in the leaves
Like everybody before me, I'm terrified by my own needs
Damned if I don't
Promise laying beyond reach, till I'm resting my head
Make me understand
I see it, but my memory is fading in disbelief, changing right in front of me
Was everything, but was everything, was everything
I said you're still right here, so why are you still cheating the moment?
You got your heart in the right place, but it could flee any moment, come on
Get your legs moving the right pace
Remember the spirit breaking in the palm of your hand?
Who said it breaks? You need to do what you can
You've been wasting energy
I'm here staring at me
He said I'll drag you down, but you can't get nowhere without me
