Tanooki Suit - A Bloody Mess lyrics

I wrote a story confess all With the strength of a paper doll The shock runs up my spine with every fall I hear a shattering sound As I break beneath this weight How could I depend upon this frame My legs go numb This grip is stifling Crushing the nerves in my back Followed by a traumatic collapse [Chorus] I drag this mess with shaking hands Taking these staggering steps How I long to walk again I drag this mess with shaking hands Taking these staggering steps I'd give everything to stand on my own again My tolerance for pain descends It's like broken gla** buried under my skin What little strength I have is wasted on these sores I suppose I could drown myself In a sea of alcohol and opiates Twisting and writhing A crutch a vice a marginal respite [Chorus] I drag this mess with shaking hands Taking these staggering steps How I long to walk again I drag this mess with shaking hands Taking these staggering steps I'd give everything to stand on my own again My plagues coursing through my veins And I can't stop this bleeding Oh God it won't stop bleeding I dream that I could run It's something that I lost in all this searching For the strength to carry on [Chorus] I drag this mess with shaking hands Taking these staggering steps How I long to walk again I drag this mess with shaking hands Taking these staggering steps I'd give everything to stand on my own again
