Broken Feet

(album: For One I Knew - 2010)

When I'm awake on the road
You paced the pool with me on the phone
I slept one wink, a cheap motel bed
With thoughts of another man pressed form in my head
With my moon in cancer, I wanna show you love
But it's impossible when all I know is lust
So I've been misused and now I'm defective
But just like you, I kicked the door in
I kept it a secret, that no one let me tell
But I suppose I'm content here, here in my little shell

So I'm not all there, this is what I choose to believe
Like three missing stairs, each worn in with every creed [?]
They all claim to need me, they all used me with ease
Like three missing stairs, I sit stagnet and empty
But you made me forget that I'm half of what I could be
I am ugly, too damn concerned with my own God damn needs
You took me on, you took me on, you took me on
You took me on, with broken feet

You found my boots, by the door in your house
By the time I get back, you'll be moved out
So close to me, your boxes are packed
You're just what you seem to be...
I thank you for that, I thank you for that

So I'm not all there, this is what I choose to believe
Like three missing stairs, each worn in with every creed [?]
They all claim to need me, they all used me with ease
Like three missing stairs, I sit stagnet and empty
But you made me forget that I'm half of what I could be
I am ugly, too damn concerned with my own God damn needs
But you took me on, you took me on, you took me on
You took me on, with broken feet
