Fragile

(album: ...The Stories We Could Tell - 2014)

Chasing one more Dragon
The poison apple glow
The Devil loves a madman
when the monkey's in control
Bye bye Love ever after
Lost my everything
Try to keep my head above water
And not the bottom of the bottle and sink, yeah

Don't you cry
Don't sing me your sad lullabies
It's a hard rain
but it's gonna be okay

My heart's on mend
From needles and sins
I'm shallow breathing in
Crawled out of the hole
I'm back in the show
I finally get the joke
But under my skin
I'm still fragile

When there's no one left to dance with
And the ghosts tap on my back
I click my heels for Kansas
And pull a rabbit right out of the hat
I get by
Looking through star-spangled eyes
These are hard times
But it's gonna be okay

My heart's on mend
From secrets and sins
I'm shallow breathing in
Crawled out of the hole
I'm back in the show
I finally get the joke
But under my skin
I'm still fragile

I'm still afraid if I fall from grace
I'd give myself away
And your faith and your trust in me will be broken (broken)

My heart's on mend
From needles and sins
I'm shallow breathing in
Crawled out of the hole
I'm back in the show
I finally get the joke
But under my skin

My heart's on mend
From secrets and sins
I'm shallow breathing in
Crawled out of the hole
I'm back in the show
I get the joke
But under my skin
I'm still fragile
I'm still fragile, fragile
