What a hapless day for tell-tales.
I tip toe on broken eggshells.
It all seems a little bit backwards but apparently that’s what I’m guilty of.
All this perceived despair.
You could argue it’s unfair.
Why should I have my say when you’re just waiting to make me pay?
I’m not ready.
It’s too heavy.
I’m not ready.
I wish I could take a load off.
While I watch my mouth run hot.
You’re like vultures circling above.
Pray for my death while you feast on the fall.
I know that it’s all right.
That’s someone else’s fight.
Why should I waste my time when you’re not the one who’s coming around tonight?
I’m not ready.
It’s too heavy.
I’m not ready.
I could waste it all.
On a world that worries more.
In time we’ll work things out.
Until then I better bite my tongue.
I could waste it all.
On a world that worries more.
In time we’ll work things out.
Oh fuck it; it’s been too long.
I’m not ready.
It’s too heavy.
I’m not ready.
