Coasting down Main Street through the dog days of the summer
Feel the burly arms of August sun rays reaching through the shutters
To hold the fort down like you always kept me grounded
with your steady hands to trim the fat from the mistakes I compounded
Standing at the pearly gates, that's how the story goes
Static in serenity, consciously comatose
Anxiety shatters my dreams to disaster and haunts me forever
but not today
I'm back on training wheels but your not there to guide me
I was dauntless, now I'm feeble like a house built out of glass
My knees, they start to buckle like I wish I had
If I could see into the future I would have braced myself to crash
Standing at the Pearly Gates, that's how the story goes
Static in serenity, consciously comatose
Anxiety shatters my dreams to disaster, and haunts me forever
but not today
I try to run but I'm stuck in place,
cause you've been stepping on my heels, getting in my way
Most nights I lay awake, always staring off at the ceiling
I lost my footing in the foreign terrain,
the wick is burning like I'm yearning for my strength again
I'm burnt down to nothing, I'm left with nothing
I gave it all
I just want you to know, your words induced this state of mind
The next time that you fall, I hope you miss the weight that I
Felt level my foundation, a hurricane that won't die down
The scars are like a sharpie but
their permanence won't force me to drown
