That promise that I made that everything will be alright
You know I can’t keep that tonight
‘cause when left all alone to my own sick devices
I crumble into a heap
Sometimes I wonder if I do my best
will it all end up ok
Maybe I need to be the type of person
that can take pressure with grace
I can’t count the times that I’ve seen the sun rise
before falling asleep
It’s like life goes into suspended animation
and the only one on each is me
Six AM in a cemetery smoking a sweet
thinking I could never be
an empty suit or twisted root too sickly or sweet
just someone in between
living alone
Sometimes I wonder if we do our best
would we all turn out ok
Maybe we need to be the type of people
that can take pressure with grace
