Gathering Stripes - For You

My hands are shaking
An understatement
I'm waiting for the second to last
To come through
I count my blessings
No second guessing
I'm overacting all of my scenes
With you
I can't
Let go
My mind
Is slow
My face is
Moving towards the warmth of the sun
I see the dawn
I'm overdrawn
You know that I am
Bending over backwards for you
For you
For you
For you

I almost had it
No time to panic
My offer to
Society is being refused
My brain is storming
This habit's forming
My early warning
Signals are completely confused
I can't
Wake up
My mouth
Is numb
My thoughts are
Bleeding through a hole in the sky
My legs
Are bound
The lost
And found
Have claimed the open
Bounty on me dead or alive

I don't believe
I can be free at all
I'm stalling for a second or two
I've said my goodbyes
You open my eyes and now
I'm falling through the static for you
I jump on command
They're tying my hands
Where I can see them
Or else I'm gonna shoot
I wanna rebel
I'm kidding myself with all I have
For you
For you
For you
For you

My engine's braking
No overtaking
I'm spinning out and
Crashing at the end of the line
My love
Is blind
My Heart
Is kind
It knows that
I am always gonna come back to you

I don't believe
I can be free at all
I'm stalling for a second or two
I've said my goodbyes
You open my eyes and now
I'm falling through the static for you
I jump on command
They're tying my hands
Where I can see them
Or else I'm gonna shoot
I wanna rebel
I'm kidding myself with all I have

I don't believe
That I can be free at all
I'm stalling for a second or two
I've said my goodbyes
You open my eyes and now
I'm falling through the static for you
I jump on command
They're tying my hands
Where I can see them
Or else I'm gonna shoot
I wanna rebel
I'm kidding myself with all I have
You know I do it for you
For you
For you
For you
