Palisade (feat. Michael Rose)

I'm only days away
From givin' up this place
I need a change of pace
A change of ways
Some days I don't fit in my own skin
I am uncomfortable
I guess 'cause, after all
I'm just a carbon ball
Housin' a soul
Just gettin' by and gettin' pretty good at sin
And every time I try to pray
A memory gets in the way
And I forget what it was I was supposed to say
Hidin' in my palisade
Writin' on a blank white page
Keeps my demons one more day away
I just can't understand
What makes a man a man
Is it his heart
Or maybe the heart in his hand?
How much he's changed
Or maybe it's how much he's the same
If all this world's a tree
I'm just a withered leaf
I'll blow away, find me
A new place to be
But Darlin', I hope you'll love me just the same
And every time I try to pray
A memory gets in the way
And I forget what it was I was supposed to say
Hidin' in my palisade
Writin' on a blank white page
Keeps my demons one more day away
