about

Track #5 on Heavy-Handed

lyrics

We start as ideas
Loose concepts initially
Lines take shape from gray to flesh
In random assembly

But we’re not blank, born pure in this mess
Predisposed before we know our sins we need to confess
I can’t shake the impending feeling I’ve waited for you

How can I keep you
Without smothering what you need?
Space to grow, the air to breathe
How can I keep you
Without getting in your way?

Fight or flight
Deep-seated inheritance
Knowing when to take a stand
Or when you don’t stand a chance
How did you hold it together?
Were you just dealing cards or were we next on the tether?

But we’re not blank, born pure in this mess
Predisposed before we know all those we need to impress
I can’t shake the impending feeling everything will change

I don’t know what to do
I could cause more damage than I ever meant to
I don’t know what to do
With color, context, there’s so much misunderstood
I don’t know what to do
I could cause more damage than any good
I can’t shake the impending feeling I’ve waited for you

We’re not blank, born pure in this mess
Decomposed before we know our sins we never confessed
How can I keep you? How can I keep you here?
