1. GRATITUDE

Running round in my head, living rent free
I'd give you the world if you'd let me
You know who I am and you know my heart
Because it's where you are

Take my hand in warm embrace, never forget my face
I could show you incredible things in places never seen
Augmenting consciousness, open each other's minds
And now I know your mine, I feel a vibe, divine

Running round in my head, living rent free
I'd give you the world if you'd let me
You know who I am and you know my heart
Because it's where you are

Baby, you're hot like a star
I want to be where you are
Felt something right from the start
Keeping you close to my heart
Always had such a bad, bad attitude
You turned it all to gratitude

I swear with my life
To constantly give you my heart
To love and protect you, this promise I give you
Please, don't ever forget
Surprise that our lives have flashed right before our eyes
To remind us that we are still alive

Running round in my head, living rent free
I'd give you the world if you'd let me
You know who I am and you know my heart
Because it's where you are
Running round in my head, living rent free
I'd give you the world if you'd let me
You know who I am and you know my heart
Because it's where you are


2. NO SPINE

So, stay
You know you're right where you belong
I think it's sad you only focus on the times that we aren't getting along
I said I loved you
You know some things will never change
I'll always love your taste
Hope I suffocate, risking my life in between your legs
But I've got no spine

I seem to get lost in the sweet taste of your lips
And watch you take control with the movement of your hips

I admit it's confusing
That's not what was said
What came out, less intrusive than what's in my head
We both know that I've said some shit that won't just fade
Well, love me anyway

Yea, maybe it's the way I'm wired
I'll tell you what you want to hear
And I think I'm afraid that we won't see better days
If we carry on in fear
And I'm tired as hell from laying all the blame on myself
It's just too much to bear
When I really need to think of myself
But what I think of myself is what's keeping me down here

Ever changing
I'd like to settle on a version of myself my wife could handle
And I don't pray much these days
I'm a lifetime away from begging God for his grace
I still believe in something larger than me
But I feel the weight compressing my faith
It's a hard pill to swallow, between a rock and a hard rock place

Am I worth this pain?
Am I worth the strain to you?


3. THAT'S A SHAME

Apologize
These lonely eyes are staring back in the mirror
It's no surprise
We've given this so much time, I think it's time that we let go

Compromise
Between your thighs, it's the only place I feel alive
The sinner dies, the sinner dies
The sinner casts the stone
So cast that stone

I... I won't be a pawn in your game
I've carried my fair share of all the blame
I know these days my words don't hit the same
I'm still half glad that I met you, and that's a shame

Antagonize
Addiction thrives in my bones, my veins, these glossy eyes
Starving to spread your legs, eat you alive
This soul is sold

Romanticize. You'll be surprised
My words taste sweeter than this rot inside
We shouldn't move too fast
I slip inside
This world is cold

(This world is cold)

I... I won't be a pawn in your game
I've carried my fair share of all the blame
I know these days my words don't hit the same
I'm still half glad that I met you, and that's a shame

All those nights spent
Drowning in your sheets
I wish I could taste that subtle sweetness devour me
It's in the back of my mind

I... I won't be a pawn in your game
I've carried my fair share of all the blame
I know these days my words don't hit the same
I'm still half glad that I met you, and that's a shame


4. HERE IN YOUR HANDS

I knew from day one
I'd never give up
Knew in that first kiss
I'd never felt this
I could never get enough
You fit me like a glove
You've got me so soft
I think I found love

I'll never leave you
Promise to stay true
All that I am is here in your hands
For better or worse
In sickness, in health
I give you my word
Even through hell

Things will get hard sometimes
But I really don't mind, as long as you're by my side
You're forever my bride
Even the worst times aren't bad
As long as I've got your hand
Sleep on the couch if you're mad
Wake up and prove I'm your man

I'll never leave you
Promise to stay true
All that I am is here in your hands
For better or worse
In sickness, in health
I give you my word
Even through hell

I'll never leave you
Promise to stay true
All that I am is here in your hands
For better or worse
In sickness, in health
I give you my word
Even through hell

I'll always need you
I'll always love you with all I am
I'll stand beside you, until the end
