A Pound of Flesh
my feet plow on from light to dawn
my empty belly and my body aches ain't hard to take
next to the weight I carry in my chest
a pound of flesh could never tip the scale that I've made
I should have stayed, but I was never wise
I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night
and I pray to whatever is listening things will be alright
oh, my boy, you're alive
your heart's still beating
so don't you mind, don't you mind
we all drift sometimes
I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house
but knowing you won't be back,
doesn't mean that I will stop waiting
you told me then: “Hold me down or hold me up to the fire,
but don't you dare hold me back.”
I see your faces in the clouds that scar the night
and I pray to whoever is listening things will be alright
then today I wake up feeling easy,
and find I'm on the more familiar roads
I got a darkness wrapped inside me,
but now it ain't so hard to let it go
so keep a candle burning in the window,
I'm almost home
