Working so hard to keep myself in I'm wearing the scars of where I haven't been yet Working so hard, crawling this far Clutching the shards of what was torn apart
Patience worn down, edges worn round Threading unwound, losing my ground I'm up against an old brick wall I've dug my nails in anchored to the same old sore
Here is where I know I've been worn out Draws me in, brace myself again Pour out, I'm giving this up, I pace myself again Dug my nails in, I've carried this torch this far
I can't take this much worn out Draws me in, I brace myself again Pour out, I'm giving this up I pace myself again
Working so hard, holding this in I'm wearing the scars of what I haven't been I'm up against an old brick wall I've dug my nails in anchored to the same old sore
Here is where I know I've been worn out Draws me in, I brace myself again Pour out, I'm giving this up, oh, pace myself again Carried this torch on my head never again
