Palisade

(album: Palisade - 2012)

I'm only days away
From giving up this place
I need a change of pace
A change of ways
Some days I don't fit in my own skin

I am uncomfortable
I guess 'cause, after all
I'm just a carbon ball
Housing a soul
Just getting by and getting pretty good at sin

And every time I try to pray
A memory gets in the way
And I forget what it was I was supposed to say
Hiding in my palisade
Writing on a blank white page
Keeps my demons one more day away

I just can't understand
What makes a man a man
Is it his heart
Or maybe the heart in his hand?
How much he's changed
Or maybe it's how much he's the same

If all this world's a tree
I'm just a withered leaf
I'll blow away, find me
A new place to be
But Darling, I hope you'll love me just the same

And every time I try to pray
A memory gets in the way
And I forget what it was I was supposed to say
Hiding in my palisade
Writing on a blank white page
Keeps my demons one more day away
