Steady

Held a candle to the canvas Watched it all go up Nearly took to the houses, smoke to the skies above I'm still coughing Black lungs burning from the rented homes And the chaos left inside Ran away from the moral debt Chest full of regret, I finally said enough Steady nervous hands, again Steady nervous hands, again Felt at ease with the solitude at first Sitting in the corner of a dim lit room That smells like bad fast food Yeah the only thing between me and apathy Has always been a cup of caffeine A selfish wish for things I might not need Should I keep stacking goals ahead Like some sad litmus test for happiness No Show me how to feel content, can't wake up to ceilings spinning Again, again, again, again Steady nervous hands, again Steady nervous hands, again
