Wander

I went away and came back feeling incomplete As the concrete sets around my feet I picture you in a place you feel at ease I hope the air is so sweet that it rots your teeth out Come down on me, I'll keep my tongue held back behind my teeth Until I bite the hand that holds my leash I'll stay all night 'til the candle burns out How should I be? I keep my bags half packed, still half asleep All the stories coming out of the bars we frequent Have never been as boring as they are to me now I don't ever want to turn into a person I don't understand I've seen it happen to people I'm close to Their demons got the upper hand The ink is gone, I'm scratching out the words I've been given things I don't deserve You're tearing at the fruit Wring it out and cut me loose With freedom comes a loneliness, I wanted one but I got two All I want to be is away for a long time, an overwhelming truth But if you'd seen the places I've seen you'd feel it too I don't ever want to turn into a person I don't understand I've seen it happen to people I'm close to Their demons got the upper hand The ink is gone, I'm scratching out the words I've been given things I don't deserve If I sit upstairs in the summer heat While the words you said play on repeat Should I keep my job and quit my dreams Or let go of you and feel at ease If it wants your ghost can come for me I've learned to save myself get off my knees Motion sick, hell bound, but found my peace In late nights long drives and tearing seams I don't ever want to turn into a person I don't understand I've seen it happen to people I'm close to Their demons got the upper hand The ink is gone, I'm scratching out the words I've been given things I don't deserve
