A Pound of Flesh Lyrics

My feet plow on
From light to dawn
My empty belly and my body aches
Ain't hard to take
Next to the weightI carry in my chest
A pound of flesh
Could never tip the scale that I've made
I should have stayed
But I was never wiseI hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night
And I pray to whatever is listening things'll be all rightOh, my boy, you're alive
Your heart's still beating
So don't you mind, don't you mind
We all drift sometimesI can still hear your feet as you ran from the house
Knowing you won't be back doesn't mean that I will stop waiting
You told me then, hold me down, hold me up to the fire
But don't you dare hold me backWhoaI see your face's in the clouds that scar the night
And I pray to whoever is listening things'll be all rightThen today I wake up feeling easy
And find I'm on the more familiar roads

I got a darkness wrapped inside me
But now it ain't so hard to let it go
So keep a candle burning in the window
I'm almost home
