Album: Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray (2011)

  • This fear has me chilled down to the bone
    And I have been haunted by these things I still have left to say
    I'm weary of fighting this alone
    So tired of holding on to strings much better left to fray

    And I said
    Hear me now here and now I'm calling
    Memories wear me down
    And this seems so complicated
    When all I want is just the truth

    I'm wilted and faded after all
    Too strung out and burnt out to be half the man that I could be
    I'll never belong inside your world
    So black out the sun and leave me to play out the same old tragedy

    And I said
    Hear me now here and now I'm calling
    Memories wear me out
    And this seems too complicated
    When all I want is just the truth

    Hear me now here and now I'm calling
    Memories wear me out
    And this seems too complicated
    When all I want is just the truth

    You're my savior after all
    Use your flame to guide me home
    And then lay your hand on me

    And I said
    Hear me now here and now I'm calling
    Memories wear me down
    And this seems so complicated
    When all I want is just the truth

    Hear me now here and now I'm calling
    Memories wear me out
    And this seems too complicated
    When all I want is a part of you Writer/s: Dale Stewart, John Humphrey, Shaun Welgemoed, William Mclawhorn
