A Pound Of Flesh

Intro: my feet plow on from light to dawn my empty belly and my body aches ain't hard to take next to the weight I 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 wise I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night and I pray to whatever is listening things will be alright oh, my boy, you're alive your heart's still beating so don't you mind, don't you mind we all drift sometimes I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house but knowing you won't be back, doesn't mean that I will stop waiting you told me then: Hold me down or hold me up to the fire, but don't you dare hold me back. Interlude: I see your faces in the clouds that scar the night and I pray to whoever is listening things will be alright then 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
