PARABLES Lyrics

Crawling out from underneath

There's a heaviness in me

Only taught to gnash it's teeth

At almost everything

I was frozen, now I'm free

But I still can't move my feet

And the company I keep

Isn't keeping much of me

If I live through this, I'm gold

& If I don't die now, then, I won't

I'll rub a little dirt in it and head back home

To lick my wounds alone

Well, if you can't tell, I'm somewhere else

If it's downhill, then I don't notice

I'm only coasting

And the road is full of parables

I learn, the hard way, those worth knowing

And just keep going, even if it's only coasting

I was blind but I see now

Or something else profound

Kinda like the way that sounds

Or I would, if it left my mouth

Biting my tongue, forgiveness ain't what I wanted

Prodigal son, I learn how to live without it

Left home, and built my own

To lick my wounds alone

Well, if you can't tell, I'm somewhere else

If it's downhill, then I don't notice

I'm only coasting

And the road is full of parables

I learn, the hard way, those worth knowing

And just keep going, even if it's only coasting

(Only coasting, only coasting

Only coasting, oh-oh)

Five steps forward, and four steps back

Hardly hit a hiccup, better hold your breath

Five steps forward, and four steps back

Hardly hit a hiccup, better hold your breath

Five steps forward, and four steps back

Hardly hit a hiccup, better hold your breath
