Deaf

And I'm still scared of routine, not quite broken in
'Cause when you're on the untamed road, the days don't stay the same
Girl, I should've told you this before I felt the sting
Now I'm lying on a dusty bedroom floor

And I'm still scared of safety and frowning at a risk
Looking back on yesterdays, swearing by what you missed
Girl, I should've told you this before I felt the sting
Now I'm lying in a pile of my own sin

'Cause I don't think I'm ready to go home
'Cause if you love me, let me travel on my own
Go alone, never alone
You're alone, never alone

The bottom line of capital is south of number one
The poor won't stop the fights when hardened cities are at war
Girl, I should've told you this before the day was through
Now I'm sleeping like I never even knew
'Cause I don't think I'm ready to go home
'Cause if you love me, let me travel on my own
Go alone, never alone
You're alone, never alone

And I'm still scared of pride, 'cause it might be the drug
The heroin of self-esteem has lost its high through blood
Girl, I should've told you this before I felt the fall
Now I'm lying in a cold cathedral hall

There's only one rebellion, there's only one reward
The deaf need better reasons to strum a different chord
Girl, I should've told you this before I heard aloud
Myself heckling at an old familiar crowd

'Cause I don't think I'm ready to go home
'Cause if you love me, let me travel on my own
Go alone, never alone
You're alone, never alone

You're alone, never alone
