Worn

Worn
Working so hard
To keep myself in
I'm wearing the scars
Of where I haven't been...yet
Working so hard
Crawling this far
Clutching the shards
Of what was torn apart
Patience worn down
Edges worn round

Threading unwound
Losing my ground
I'm up against an old brick wall
I've dug my nails in
Anchored to the same old sore
Here is where I know I've been
Worn out
Draws me in
Brace myself
Again
Pour out
I'm giving this up
I pace myself again
Dug my nails in
I've carried this torch
This...far
I can't take this much
Worn out
Draws me in
I brace myself
Again
Pour out
I'm giving this up
I pace myself again
Working so hard
Holding this in
I'm wearing the scars
Of what I haven't been
I'm up against an old brick wall
I've dug my nails in
Anchored to the same old sore
Here is where I know I've been
Worn out
Draws me in
I brace myself
Again
Pour out
I'm giving this up
O pace myself again
Carried this torch
On my head...
Never again
