[ Featuring The Great Lakes ]
I know I'm not easy
In fact sometimes I'm a stone
I'm not sorry
Like I should be
I should be alone
I took to the tailor
For some needle and some thread
For to stitch up
The hole that's in my head
Saw a sign and it read:
We're all just hearts on the mend
Every night while the world lies sleeping
I'm swallowing swords
I'm fighting back demons
Sinking with the shadows
It's easier than the truth
I drink 'til I'm sick
I stare at the ceiling
Of stars up above
This ocean between us
Talking to the trade winds
Telling stories tall and true
Stuck in a southern state
Where I've lost my peace of mind
Heard it's somewhere
California or the Northwest Pines
Folks falling backwards
Talking in tongues I can't transcribe
Spitting daggers
Calling: "Christ is on our side"
Some intelligent design
The blind leading the blind
Every night while the world lies sleeping
I'm swallowing swords
I'm fighting back demons
Sinking with the shadows
It's easier than the truth
I drink 'til I'm sick
I stare at the ceiling
Of stars up above
This ocean between us
Talking to the trade winds
Telling stories tall and true
Saw a sign and it read:
We're all just hearts on the mend
Every night while the world lies sleeping
I'm swallowing swords
I'm fighting back demons
Sinking with the shadows
It's easier than the truth
I drink 'til I'm sick
I stare at the ceiling
Of stars up above
This ocean between us
Talking to the trade winds
Telling stories tall and true
