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, oh, pace myself again

Carried this torch on my head never again
