A pound of flesh lyrics

my feet plow on

from light to dawn

my empty belly and my body aches

ain't hard to take

next to the weight I carry in my chest

a pound of flesh

could never tip the scale that I've made

I should have stayed,

but I was never wise

I hear your voices in the wind

that cuts the night

and I pray to whatever is listening

things will be alright

oh, my boy, you're alive

your heart's still beating

so don't you mind, don't you mind

we all drift sometimes

I can still hear your feet

as you ran from the house

but knowing you won't be back,

doesn't mean that I will stop waiting

you told me then: “Hold me down

or hold me up to the fire,

but don't you dare hold me back.”

I see your faces in the clouds

that scar the night

and I pray to whoever is listening

things will be alright

then today I wake up feeling easy,

and find I'm on the more familiar roads

I got a darkness wrapped inside me,

but now it ain't so hard to let it go

so keep a candle burning in the window,

I'm almost home
