lyrics

never been a load bearer
sorry if it seemed so
truth is you're a suitcase full of bricks

never been a dream catcher
don't mean to get your hopes up
nightmares have these teeth sharper than sticks

Darling, I'm not pulling my weight
Darling, we aren't sharing the load
I'm scared I might leave the cinderblocks
at the edges of the frontage road

Darling, there are shoes I have to fill
I'm getting pretty used to your bare feet
maybe we will ramble until we bleed
maybe we will never feel complete

no, I'm not a carpenter
I've bitten all my nails off.
not even sure which bridge
I'd have to fix

no, I'm not a promised land
don't trust my compass needle.
gnawing at your toes
out in the sticks

Darling, I'm not pulling my weight
Darling, we aren't sharing the load
I'm scared I might leave the cinder blocks
at the edges of the frontage road

Darling, there are shoes I have to fill
I'm getting pretty used to your bare feet
maybe we will ramble until we bleed
maybe we will never feel complete
