Fragile

[Verse 1: Alaska Sargent]
They tell me surrender my ego
I'm working too hard
Deep in the ground yet the blade is still sharp
My heart is in Texas, yet I'm by the shore
I brush out my hair and my roots have gone dark
What am I to you
Less than a perfect daughter
A friend who's mistaken
The hurt that I've fostered
I feel the rain drop on the back of my neck
As I look to the ground retracing my steps in vain

[Chorus: Alaska Sargent & T.K.A]
Sing a simple song
I want to forget what I know
I simply cannot stand the cold
(You left me to rot)
Sing a simple song
I want to forget what I know
I simply cannot stand the cold

[Bridge: T.K.A]
Tell me when I can be free
So that I can relive all the things that I've seen
In these places unknown
I can feel your memories here as I keep going on
And on, and on, and on

[Verse 2: Alaska Sargent]
All I know is to work
It's an unhealthy habit
I've buried myself just to hide from the tension
My therapy sessions have led to dead ends
I'm used to the memories that I've suppressed
I'm alone in my room with a bottle of drugs
And they say I'll feel better when I down the cup
You said the same thing when I threw him away
But he already had a picture he framed in my name

[Chorus: Alaska Sargent & T.K.A]
Sing a simple song
I want to forget what I know
I simply cannot stand the cold
(You left me to rot)
Sing a simple song
I want to forget what I know
I simply cannot stand the cold
