ON MY HONOR - I Never Deserve The Things I Need lyrics

rate me

I want to live by the ocean

At least near water of some kind

To keep me cool in the warmer months

When winter hits, providing something solid in my life

I’m not breaking any ice

Thin limbs are reaching out too far

They won't be getting any better

A bitter man’s mind

Equipped with

Childlike arms

These branches are retracting

Curling in on me

Holding on as long as possible to every leaf

Pleading with the earth and sun

Until I fall, they’ll all stay safe

In my shade’s reach

But they’re blowing away

The colorful parts of me

The purpose I serve

Piece by piece

Falling off of me

A cleansing, by fire

Burnt down in private

No one can ever see

I never, I never deserve the things I need

I sought the role of an open book

Lent too many times

Thrown in bags, floorboards of cars

Critiqued by too many minds

Highlighted and dog-eared

To no convenience of mine

A cleansing, by fire

Burnt down in private

No one can ever see

I never, I never deserve the things I need

As much as it pains me

I need you to know You’re what I carry with me

Every time I go

Despite every nightmare

Clawing at my soul

I count it a privilege

Just to watch you grow

No rest for the strong

If that’s how you’re perceived

Too close, too close

You’re too close to me

It’s what I craved and cried for

I never deserve the things I need

I want to live by the ocean

At least near water of some kind

<br />
