Lyrics
My body’s shaking as I’m contemplating giving up
On the edge of unforgiving what I’ve given up
These closet doors
Won’t close no more
Bones piled high like a jigsaw
Evidence is blinding, I’m an outlaw
Nowhere to hide
Oh I’m wavering
Over everything
Spine unsteady, I’m not ready
For the unknown
A shallow grave always seemed easier than surgery
Every scar reveals a little crack in everything
These buried words
And deepest hurts
Cut open wide like a slack jaw
This wounded heart it beats raw
Can’t stay inside
Oh I’m wavering
Over everything
Spine unsteady, I'm not ready
For the unknown
Oh I’m wavering
Foundations folding in
Feeling heavy, I’m not ready
For the unknown
I knew this day would come
I knew I’d be undone
It's a gravitational force
That binds us in time
There’s no use trying to run from myself
Somehow, I'll be alright
Sometimes digging down can help with planting deeper roots
To reassure myself embrace the fundamental truth
I take a breath
A truce with death
Cut blinds and let a little light in
First a drop before the lightning
Door open wide
Oh I’m wavering
Over everything
Spine unsteady, I'm not ready
For the unknown
Oh I’m wavering
Foundations folding in
Feeling heavy, I’m not ready
For the unknown
For the unknown
For the unknown
For the unknown
For the unknown
