I know you carry everything
I know you
I understand the mess you're in
And how she gets a hold on you
I know the voices that haunt your sleep
The promises you made to yourself and you didn't keep
The tremble in the emptiness when you can't stop shaking
The raising sky and the draw of the lines
The howling in the distance when you can't stop crying
The loneliness isn't a curse, it's a heart that won't, that can't, that don't stop breaking
Don't even think to make it hurt
Or try to make it burn
I know you carry everything
But I don't think you've learned
You see there's a thousand messages you don't even know that you read
A thousand guidelines you don't even know that you keep
These are the words of experience not those of a seer
Well, those things that bring you down
Are the very same that will come and bring you around
That's why I promised, that's why I'm saying, one day the everclear
