lyrics

An escape and a crutch
Had my back when I needed a push
Saved my eyes from seeing the worst
Kept my brain safe from thinking those thoughts
The thief, the lover, the poet undercover
Every name I claimed to use had all been one li(f)e or another
Trades and barters, bards and kings, still no clue where to begin
Beg to comprehend what I'm going through, but I still can't find the manual
That's just my luck

Buried my sins in the page
Only way to outlast the pain
Just a bookworm, with no nerve, no spine or guts
So I let em' drag my name through the mud

But at least the dirt I can trust

To stay the same as it was
Now don't go shaking me up
Stable ground bound to erupt
Cause I can't face the face of the truth

All the change all the rules
Like you're doing your damnedest to scare me
Well it worked, I'm afraid, bred the fear in my brain
Every nerve in my body is burning
Bared my skin as the paper, I penned out the anger
Blood at the root of the writing
Well the contract I wrote, sealed by a blood oath
That I made with myself in that moment
