I'm only days away From givin' up this place. I need a change of pace, a change of ways. Some days I don't fit in my own skin.
I am uncomfortable I guess 'cause, after all, I'm just a carbon ball housing a soul, Just getting by and getting pretty good at sin.
And every time I try to pray A memory gets in the way And I forget what it was I was supposed to say.
Hiding in my palisade, Writing on a blank white page Keeps my demons one more day away.
I just can't understand What makes a man a man. Is it his heart or maybe the heart in his hand? How much he's changed, or maybe it's how much he's the same.
If all this world's a tree, I'm just a withered leaf. I'll blow away, find me a new place to be, But darlin', I hope you'll love me just the same.
And every time I try to pray A memory gets in the way And I forget what it was I was supposed to say.
Hiding in my palisade, Writing on a blank white page Keeps my demons one more day away.
