lyrics

Nervous fingers, nervous palms
Folding down the corners of the book of therapeutic psalms.
Cool down, breathe in, and look around.
This is the safety net, this is the battleground.

As I recall, I thought I knew it all,
But every night I fall from my prophetic wall,
But if I don't toe the line I know that I'll be fine.
Just give me time, just give me time.

So you told me that I'll come first
But oh I hunger, oh I claw for some present tense to quench my thirst.
I'm gonna take the T to Chinatown and I'm never coming back around,
No way, at least not today, not if it's not in my own way.

And I know that it's cliche, but if I push you away
It's because I am afraid of the demons that I play
But if I don't toe the line I know that I'll be fine.
Just give me time, just give me time.

No rock can crush it
No knife can cut it
No top can cap it
No cloth can wrap it
No buffer buffs
No love's enough
All roads are rough
And I've had enough!

I want it! I need it!
I fight it! I feed it!
I write it! I read it!
I spite it! I heed it!

There's nothing more that I want now
Than to open up and take it down.
