Upright, Love.

(album: Upright, Love - 2012)

Said I got no illusions
'Bout the state of my soul
I've made my decisions
'Bout the way that I roll
I've got no religion
At least not anymore
But I stand upright, love, with my feet on the floor

And now I see just how you tried
With all your guts to suck me dry
You said your ribs could be my home
But you'd steal the marrow from my bones
And it blows my mind
This feeling inside
I'm gonna be fine
If I leave you behind
It blows my mind
This feeling inside
I'm gonna be fine
If I leave you behind
Oh, behind

I bleed on the piano
I melt in my chin
I stare at a blank page, and I fill it up with my sins
And you can hurl your worst at me
But I'm still gonna win
'Cause I stand upright, love, and ready to begin

And now I see just how you tried
With all your guts to suck me dry
You said your ribs could be my home
But you'd steal the marrow from my bones
And it blows my mind
This feeling inside
I'm gonna be fine
If I leave you behind
It blows my mind
This feeling inside
I'm gonna be fine
If I leave you behind
Oh, behind
Oh yeah

I shoot at no target
I tend to aim wide
I run for the motion, not for form horse to ride
You might be the mountain
But I can part the tides
And I stand upright, love, and open wide

And now I see just how you tried
With all your guts to suck me dry
You said your ribs could be my home
But you'd steal the marrow from my bones
And it blows my mind
This feeling inside
I'm gonna be fine
If I leave you behind
It blows my mind
This feeling inside
I'm gonna be fine
If I leave you behind
Oh, behind
If I leave you behind
Oh, behind
