August (Part Two) - Hotel Books

I’m gonna chisel away at this rock until I get the shape that I want

And then I’m gonna continue to chisel it

'cause that’s what I do when I find myself in a new relationship

'cause I remember when this started out as mud mixed with water that turned to

clay

And I watched it break and break and look more like the image I wanted to make

It’s pathetic, I know

But it’s all anyone ever gave

'cause I was born a virgin covered in blood and free of sin

And that’s the exact shape I wanna make when I jump off this bridge

I’m tired of trying to be something that I can’t be

And I’m tired of fighting for something that I can’t see

I’m finding new life in every regret

And finding regrets in everything I forget

And the second I’m at peace I’m thrown off by my need to make everything

complete

'cause I’m a sucker for the rule of 3's

You hurt me and I hurt you

But when I hurt you something needs to happen to give me some sort closure

And I’m sorry for this poor posture

I just can’t stand up straight and take this like a man today

I’m too broken

And there’s so many things I want to say if only you would listen

And I’ll put my fingers in the door so when I close it on you, maybe I’ll hurt

a little bit too

I’ll put my fingers in the door so when I close it on you, I’ll hurt a little

bit too

Because the only reason I held on to you was because I felt I had nothing left

And the deeper I carve into this rock,

I’m realizing it’s not gonna fit into the shape I want

So I quit

'cause I’ve always been afraid to fall in love

'cause there’s something about falling that just doesn’t sound worth it

And I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again

It was problematic at best

because you beckoned me

And you lessened me

And no other love would accommodate my blindfold so easily

But now I can see

Now I can see

God, I gave you all of my love

but I can’t see past this hurt

God, I gave you all of my love

So now what do I give to her?

God, I gave you all of my love

I just can’t see past this hurt

God, I gave you all of my love,

So what am I supposed to give to her?

God, I gave you all of my love

I just can’t see past this hurt

God, I gave you all of my love

So what am I supposed to give to her?

'cause I’m terrified

I’m terrified

But I’ve never felt so alive

I’m terrified

I’m terrified

But I’ve never, I’ve never felt so alive

I’ve never felt so alive
