lyrics

Take all I am: ignoring the burden of terrible words left unsaid.
The man you remember's been gone since November and left you his shadow instead.
I feel like a ghost in my skin. I'm riddled with sin.
I'm a liar, I'm selfish, I'm weak.
Because god built an ark and left Noah in charge while he flooded the men like me clean.
(I've got some friends)
Yet I still feel alive.
I may be misguided, but maybe thats why we exist.
To search for ourselves inside somebody else, and then blame them for lives that we've missed.
I'm so full of love. You can't take that from me.
I spent half my life being told to slow down, when progression is all that I need.
I've got some friends that I haven't met.
We live with a weight thats bared on our necks.
Yet I still keep your heart close inside of this chest.
It meant more to that boy, and more to this man than they'll ever get.
Oh, You got what you wanted except for this sad, sad song.
I've got some friends that I haven't met.
We live with a weight thats bared on our necks.
Yet I still keep your heart close inside of this chest.
It meant more to that boy, and more to this man than they'll ever get.
You can build your house of cards and I'll watch as they tumble down onto the floor.
While I mend this broken heart, reminisce how destructive faith was to us both.
