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
