lyrics

My spine’s not straight
I notice it day after crooked day
So I’ll imitate
How it seems like right should feel, and I’m on my way
I can’t pretend
Wishing it’ll change will make it unbend
I understand
Crooked bones and old habits are no way to live

But don’t try to tell me this is the only way
Habits only cling to you as long as you let them, don’t they?
I know that every hour brings me closer to my dying day
Still here I lay

My body, rest
Lie in the hole I dug from the heart in my chest
One toxic breath
Of this dirty air that I have come to expect
Infected dreams
Scrub my mind and rid me of them by any means
But when I’m asleep
I have no choice but living them, I can’t disagree

But don’t try to tell me (I’ll try not to tell myself) this is the only way
Habits only cling to you as long as you let them, don’t they?
I know that every hour brings me closer to my dying day
Still here I lay

But tell me
What’s a date on a page? 
A man or an age?
Countless lives in between
Playing could have been

But don’t try to tell me this is the only way
Habits only cling to you as long as you let them, don’t they?
I know that every hour brings me closer to my dying day
Still here I lay
