Therefore I Am - Splinters lyrics

So they say, hey kid Why can't you keep your head up? Please stop pleading And start acting like yourself Well, who the hell is that anyway? So with no signs of relief I seem to see more sense In holding hands with the dead While I lay alone, while I lay below The photos, the milestones 'Cause my friend told me She'll settle deep Like a pain in the palm of your hand Can't you see, man, it's not all that easy 'Cause I, I don't know I don't know what love means No, I don't know what love means At least let me see The golden road that you promised Just give me back My jaded heart that you've stolen You left me high and dry What good is wax Without a wick to burn it all away What good is hope when all you've left me Is a fabricated fair weather phrase 'Cause my friend told me She'll settle deep Like a pain in the palm of your hand Can't you see, man, it's not all that easy 'Cause I, I don't know Maybe I'm just a kid Maybe I've sunken into some quarter life crisis I don't know Maybe it is this weight Darkness that makes me shake Keeps us all alive I don't know 'Cause my friend told me She'll settle deep Like a pain in the palm of your hand Can't you see, man, it's not all that easy 'Cause my friend told me She'll settle deep Like a pain in the palm of your hand Can't you see, man, it's not all that easy 'Cause I, I don't know, I don't know
