Dark stains on ivory.
They'll never go away.
They look a lot like me.
Found ways to hold the weight.
Pawn to heredity.
But I am me.
I'm sorry for all of the things that you don't know.
I'm everything now that you would never want.
If you knew the length of my selfishness.
Distant and naive are two that still believe.
Gentle hands that feed.
And on my chest one sleeps.
The closest one to me in every way.
I'm sorry for all of the things that you don't know.
I'm everything now that you would never want.
If you knew the length of my selfishness.
In a parking lot, in a burning truck, I'm waiting around.
The hours pa**. I'm a mess, and it's getting worse.
I'm freezing cold sweats are all that I'm worth.
You're at home, lying proud of a son.
But it don't shine anymore.
I'm sorry for all of the things that you don't know.
I'm everything now that you would never want.
If you knew the length of my selfishness.
