Falling down when I hear my name out
My first day walking on my own
Well what if I"d been made that way?
I would have been the shining array
Instead I"m on the borderline, I told you I was fine
But I was wrong
Honest silence, always darkened
My first day talking and the verse
Comes spilling out of every cup
Out on the floor, and out of touch
I told you I"d been deaf and dumb
I was really holding my tongue
But the ink was on my thumb
And the whisper from my lung said I was lying
Sunday morning, mournful shining
My first day sober in a while
So what if I did drink too much?
I"m not the only one who"s had enough
And if I could stand without a crutch
I"d step away into the dust
But the pain was too much, and I was dying
But on my life, I won"t stop trying
I"ll be the one who"s on the page.
