Don't fight this monster
Let it attach itself to you
I said I don't need the trouble
And you don't need it too
I got in right off distraught
Said I don't remember but I forgot
I don't wanna fight you till I do

The sweetest devil still looks rotten Comfortable can feel so haunted
I'm not after what you've got to prove I'm not hiding, I'm not brooding
But I never thought I'd lose my footing
I can't stay, I know but I can't move

Don't keep me under the eaves
I feel the storm moving closer, marks another defeat
Trip down paths that you paved me just to keep off the streets
I never wanted to plead free will at ease

We can listen to clock hands
Keeps us racing for bus stops
Talk about lack of time

We can ignore each other once I'm home at last
Playing possum playing pacifist
Came to kill the perfect time

Don't keep me under the eaves
I feel the storm moving closer, marks another defeat
Trip down paths that you paved me just to keep off the streets
I never wanted to plead free will at ease

Easy streets walk c’est la vie
I put my hands in my pockets and I'm ready to leave
Come and look a little closer while I try not to freeze
I never wanted to plead free will at ease
