Promises

Lyrics

[Verse 1] To escape from my own mind I have fallen off the rails Given into subtle tendencies And again it's a matter of time Until I sink into denial And build a barricade defending me [Pre-Chorus] We'll put it off now We'll put it off now [Chorus] I am ready to stand for the things that I have done (It seems so clear) For all the things that I have thrown away I am standing right here [Verse 2] I know I'll suffer Exposed and alone And it's true that the way back up Hurts so much more than sitting on a crippled wicker throne (throne) [Alternate Pre-Chorus] Don't put it off now I won't put it off now [Pre-Chorus] I am ready to stand for the things that I have done (It seems so clear) For all the things that I have thrown away I'm standing right here [Post-Chorus] Don't put it off now I won't put it off now [Bridge] You cling to promises You say it's temporary You cling to promises but we both know You claim you're ordinary You cling to promises but we both know the truth [Chorus] I am ready to stand for the things that I have done (It seems so clear) For all the things that I have thrown away I am standing right here
