On My Honor - I Never Deserve The Things I Need Lyrics
I want to live by the oceanAt least near water of some kindTo keep me cool in the warmer monthsWhen winter hits, providing something solid in my lifeI’m not breaking any iceThin limbs are reaching out too farThey won't be getting any betterA bitter man’s mindEquipped withChildlike armsThese branches are retractingCurling in on meHolding on as long as possible to every leafPleading with the earth and sunUntil I fall, they’ll all stay safeIn my shade’s reachBut they’re blowing awayThe colorful parts of meThe purpose I servePiece by pieceFalling off of meA cleansing, by fireBurnt down in privateNo one can ever seeI never, I never deserve the things I needI sought the role of an open bookLent too many timesThrown in bags, floorboards of carsCritiqued by too many mindsHighlighted and dog-earedTo no convenience of mineA cleansing, by fireBurnt down in privateNo one can ever seeI never, I never deserve the things I needAs much as it pains meI need you to know You’re what I carry with meEvery time I goDespite every nightmareClawing at my soulI count it a privilegeJust to watch you growNo rest for the strongIf that’s how you’re perceivedToo close, too closeYou’re too close to meIt’s what I craved and cried forI never deserve the things I needI want to live by the oceanAt least near water of some kind
