A Pound of Flesh

My feet pull on

From light to dawn

My empty belly in my body aches

Ain't hard to take

Next to the weight I carry in my chest

A pound of flesh

Could never tip the scale that I've made

I should have stayed but I was never was

I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the cold

And the pain of whatever is listing things will be alright

All my bolder life

Your heart still beating

So don't you die don't you mind

We all drift sometimes

I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house

Knowing you will be back doesn't mean that I will stop waiting

Told me then hold me down hold me up to the fire

Don't you dare hold me back

I see your faces in the clouds that scar the night

And no matter who words lists of things we'll be alright

And today I wake up feeling easy

And find I'm on the more familiar roads

I got a darkness wrapped inside me but now it ain't so hard to let it go

So keep your candle burning in the window

I'm almost home
