My simple words don't explain

All the cards in this game

All the debts left unpaid

So I will harden my heart

And crawl back in.

And so begin my escape

From the arms of my fate

Where the darkness awaits

But like a dog ashamed

I crawl back in.

And today, oh today

Whether sun, whether rain

We are one and the same

In hope and pain

I crawl back in.

And so shall it ever be

In my hopes return to dreams

And my dreams return to dirt

Beneath my nails

As I crawl back in.
