PLEAD

you show up once again,
you slump against the doorway
"one night" you say as you fall down
you know I'll take you in,
you're wet and tired and hungry
but it's so hard this time

through your eyes, I can't see
the nails you've driven in me
while your tears cleanse my skin
the nails are driven deeper in

the strings keep pulling, tearing me away
this tangled web we weave, forcing me to stay
keep digging in the darkness, and maybe you will see
wishing we could wash our hands and let it drip away

through your eyes, I can't see
the nails you've driven in me
while your tears cleanse my skin
nails are driven deeper in

you crawl back on your knees
and you beg and you plead
I'm not blind like before
and I won't listen any more

Lyrics by Matt Keogh, Dan Hatch, and Mike Norris
