A Parable Lyrics

My back's to the wall

The most bashful of us all

Watching you step into the room

And dance like an animal

And God it makes me weak

And God I need a drink

To disregard the thoughts I think

And just step out with you

Well my old mind

Would over analyze

But I have made amends

With the voices in my head

And though I'll always hear them

I'm reaching out again

Walking to your house

And I'm staring at your mouth

The string of words it's speaking out

Sounds like a parable

And isn't it a waste

When mine don't sound the same

Oh all I think to say

Is can I come in with you

See I still find

I'm quick to criticize

But I have made amends

With the voices in my head

And though I'll always hear them

I'm reaching for your hand

All I know is that the night

Isn't ever wrong or right

And I'll stay with you

Oh, for as long as you ask me to

I sleep fine

With Eliza at my side

Waking in the morning

She reaches for a pen
