This is the danger
This is the fear
Everything you said rambles in my head
I'm trying to catch my breath
I'll try not to lose my head
This is a poison
I am ashamed in excess
Fucked up and toothless with a mind to indulge
Pray that I stay in this skin
Pray that I don't slip again
You were a lighthouse
You were control
I was a danger digging a hole
You were a lighthouse
There are plenty of reasons
They're just not making sense
I had some understanding, just forgot what it was
I'm trying to keep my shit straight, I'm trying to find some faith
When I think of how long it took
and how something so small could rattle me sideways,
it leaves me in awe
I'm alive but I feel no grace
I'm clean but there's so much pain
Beat up and useless, defeated, too tired to dissolve
You were a lighthouse
You were control
I was the danger digging a hole
You were a lighthouse

Praise Me

I will let you down as I pretend to care
Now you're inclined so lie
Worry not, it's fair
Said you're gonna drive, yeah you're gonna drive me crazy
I can't stay in all night
Unless you wanna lie,
unless you wanna lie there and praise me,
I need to feel my muscles moving, gotta get some air
It's a waste of my time when I take it outside, no question
It's a look in the eye, I'm shaking, I'm fried, still I play dumb
Why do I hide when everybody knows my weakness?
Because I'm scared of all the damage done
I'm shaking because I know what's bound to come
I don't even know which way to go
Losing my head, stuck staring in the wrong direction
I can't even touch the ground
The weight of your love when I can't even lift a finger is only going to bring you down
This is how I'll drive, yeah I'm gonna drive you really crazy
I can't even stay one night
She'll always wonder why I didn't even try to save her
I'll never have an answer for her, it withered when I lost my way
but mother says I'll find it if I pray
