Things I Carry

[Verse 1]
I'm scared that from this moment on everything will go dark
I'm scared you're getting older and I'm scared I left a mark
I'm scared of journal pages, I tape together for my own good
The knife, the wine, the closet
My twelve pound head, that shameful look

[Chorus]
Sip me down with dinner like the poison in your drink
Then throw me up like liquor in someone you don't know's sink
Hold me up so I can see the tip tops of the trees
All the things I carry, now I'll let them carry me

[Verse 2]
I'm scared that if I heal from you, you won't be mine to keep
I'm scared I'm only livin' for what's long been dead to me
I'm scared I don't know how to sing without a broken heart
The bluejay at my window, my shaky hands, a rotten start

[Chorus]
Sit me down and tell me the worst news I've ever heard
Break my bones in places, that have yet to know real hurt
Hold me up so I can see the tip tops of the trees
All the things I carry, now I'll let them carry me
