Afflictions

Lyrics for Afflictions

You hold my hand through turbulence You sugarcoat the oxygen My lungs are full, I'm sick again I feel you coming on You never simply talk to me You tell the truth about everything Of all your afflictions That is my favorite one Oh, well it's turning out I'm better when Oh, when you stop and stick around I'll go anywhere you want but then again I like this house You used to be a mystery You bruise, you left an injury I thought you lived through suffering But thank god I was wrong Your family feels like family You see what I can't seem to see I don't know where to put it all I'll put you in a song Oh, I was burning out but then you said Oh "you should leave the light on" And I'll go if you ask me to, but then again Don't drop me off Oh, well it can't be a coincidence Oh, that I falter when you're gone And I cope but I promise you it's different You're strong, I'm not You're strong, I'm not It's the shape of your hands Made me brave once again You became where I land Now you hold all of it You hold my hand through turbulence You sugarcoat the oxygen My lungs are full, I'm sick again I feel you coming on Of all of your afflictions that is my favorite one Oh, well it's turning out I'm better when Oh, when you stop and stick around I'll go anywhere you want but then again Well, I like this house Oh, I was burning out but then you said Oh, you should leave the light on I'll go if you asked me to, but then again Don't drop me off Don't drop me off
