You can take a photograph now I've got my feet on the ground You can tell the others to shut up I've got my feet on the ground You can send this one to my mother I know that she'd be so proud She always said, "son, don't you cover Your sins when everybody's around" I don't know why it is but I'm scared again I don't know why it is but I'm lost When we were kids we were confident I've got some anchors to toss You can tell the others I'm fine And I'm sorry for the things that I said Lately my minds been on dying Like I'm breathing but I'm already dead You can burn my body when it's over I don't want to be in the way When I'm gone you'll cry on my shoulder I'm in your spirit and face You know I don't mean to make you cry There are knives in my life
