You asked me if I live without her
|
I choke on my reply
|
Let the blind man at the mirror spin his lie
|
|
And I'm damned if I don't try
|
Damned if I don't try
|
But no matter what I say
|
It doesn't go
|
Away at all and I'm still unable to get free
|
|
And I've NEVER been afraid
|
Of a convenience that I could have made
|
But having to admit this one has me
|
And so the tiger's got his toe
|
And the only way to holler is by letting go
|
Still unable to get free
|
|
With cork and wax I try my best
|
To spackle in the hole
|
The inevitable aging of my soul
|
|
And my heart it gets so tired
|
It's my heart and it gets so tired
|
It's just a trace to track the pain
|
The beat that I
|
Sustain for hoping and I am still unable to get free
|
|
And I've never been afraid
|
Of a consequence that I could have made
|
But having to admit this one has me
|
And so the tiger's got his toe
|
And the only way to holler is by letting go
|
Still unable to get free
|
|
...I see connections
|
...In my contention
|
...That I could see redemption
|
Through the bars
|
Of this cage...
|
|
And I don't know what to do
|
I don't know what to do
|
For accepting sight unseen
|
So desperately I
|
Dream of some day when I won't be unable to get free
|
|
And I've never been afraid
|
Of a consequence that I could have made
|
But having to accept this one has me
|
And so the tiger's got his toe
|
And the only way to holler is by letting go
|
Still unable to get free
|
|
And I've never been afraid
|
Of a consequence that I could have made
|
But having to admit this one has me
|
And so the tiger's got his toe
|
And the only way to holler is by letting go
|
Still unable to get free
