Honest verse is hard to write
Touch my skin when it feels right
Thought I could fix it, your display
Delirium won't go, it won't stay
There's a stranger in your house
You tell him to take his time
His love is yet to be a crime
My good life's only in my head
I got spider's crawling up my leg
And I can feel my throat get tight
'Cause honest verse is hard to find.
It can't be done
He can't be stopped
I thought it was, but it's not
You apologize for your traveling thoughts
I thought it could, but it can't stop
Your paralyzed legs and arms drop
Your paralyzed legs and arms drop
My shadow's riding on my back
Your father's never coming back
And all the girls love Mr. May,
but his true love is in the rain.
There's a stranger in your house
You tell him to take his time
His love is yet to be a crime
It can't be done
He can't be stopped
I thought it was, but it's not
You apologize for your traveling thoughts
I thought it could, but it can't stop
Your paralyzed legs and arms drop
Your paralyzed legs and arms drop
