Tillian - The Beggar

Summer turned to winter and now summer came again
Leave a candle burning so my words won't be scattered in vain

I've been biting on my lip and I've been chewing on the pain
Swallowing up the sadness and spitting in the rain

The truth is I'm afraid all the time
Like a beggar

Take this heart and take the salt
You downright should it's all my fault
I told you once you told me twice
My fucking math, a poor disguise

Hands they shake when you don't watch
I'm screaming like a madman behind the door
All the mess that you won't touch
And more and more

The truth is I'm afraid all the time
Like a beggar for your love
For your love
For your love

For these crumbs paid the price in flesh
That you never even came to charge
For the beast that hungered, starving
It resides in me
The beggar inside of me

The truth is she's afraid all the time
Like a beggar

A lost child she's wandering, bare feet and cold
Dreaming of Phoenix a path to unfold
The triumph of mermaids and lead turned to gold

But the truth is I'm afraid all the time
Like a beggar
