~~Back~~


Find me a back bone…..
One like yours
That can hold up
under the lies of the world

Find me a back bone…..
One like yours
That can twist around the lies
Contort to that truth that’s yours

Find me a back bone…..
One like yours
Then maybe I can stand to live like you
Wrapped in lies with no recourse

Find me a back bone…..
One like yours
For until then I’ll live as I do
Straight and on course

Find me a back bone…..
One like yours
Until then I’ll do what I do
Carrying the weight good and true

Find me a back bone…..
One like yours
Until then I’ll live in the shadows
Bathed in the light that can’t touch you
