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
