And squeeze my body tight
And I’ve sown just what I’ve reaped
I walk out on the streets
Somewhere along the way
And watch the river flow
To caress my jaded skin
Like a drug inside my veins
I know I’ll meet my fears
And through my chilly bones they creep
And I know I’m not insane
I fumble with my clothes
To face another day
And the voices have all gone
And forgive me of my sins
It’s just this damned old hungry pain
And put myself back on
Sometimes they leave me cold
There are strangers in my bed
If I am, I’m not to blame
Sometimes they keep me warm
When the nighttime goes away
I’ll drown beneath the waves
As I climb the mighty steel
And they whisper me to sleep
And my thoughts are mine to keep
