Lyrical Analysis of...
A Coward At Night
- This weight is tremendous, i drop it in my sentence/
- relieve the burden hurting into new investments/
- gotta shrug it off, but i can’t because it haunts
- gotta cut it off but I've got a dozen wrongs
- they just keep growing, i must be sowing
- these seeds that are bloating, and keeping me from floating
- the ocean’s where my home is, gotta keep afloat if/
- i don’t wanna end up choking on the motion of the boat i’m in
- pulled to defeat, getting cold in the deep
- i look above and see two soles of feet.
- My soul isn't cheap, but i sold it for cheap/
- now I'm holding a piece of the whole that i seek
- I'm asking you to throw me it, the anchor not a saving ring/
- Aiming for the bottom, i don’t want nobody saving me
- But then again I’m reaching for a hand to hold me calm/
- More specifically a hand with holes in the palms
- I’m aching for the majesty, but witnessing a travesty/
- The evil that is grabbing me wants to set Barabbas free
- So why try fighting, why am I writing?
- Why am I inciting the side of me that’s hiding?
- Poking it with loneliness, throwing it a bone to pick
- Holding it and molding it, no one is controlling it
- Serving one master, the Bastard of the Rapture
- Wolf of the Pasture, foe of the pastor
- I need to see the light before i flee into the night/
- break free of these delights, feed peace into my sight
- Someone cut away these scales' subtle weight
- I fail to run away, my tail is tucked away
- If only written songs could be keeping me strong/
- I wouldn't need to belong with the weeds in the lawn.
- The parasites scared of light, running from the fairest fight/
- They're inside and terrorize the stare in my parents' eyes.
- ..around the time, the hour is at height
- I'm begging God for sleep as a coward in the night.
- Cuz sleep brings sorrow, sleep brings tomorrow
- sleep is borrowed but we keep it for our own.
- I never touch the pavement, i live inside the basement
- of places my brain rents, away from the sane end
- ...I run away, until the sun of day/
- doesn't stay..that's when you know I'm gonna pray
