Afflictions Lyrics
You hold my hand through turbulence
You sugarcoat the oxygen
My lungs are full, I’m sick again
I feel you coming on
You never simply talk to me
You tell the truth about everything
Of all of your afflictions
That is my favorite one
Oh, well, it’s turning out I’m better when
Oh, when you stop and stick around
I’ll go anywhere you want, but then again
I like this house
You used to be a mystery
You bruise, you left an injury
I thought you lived through suffering
But thank god I was wrong
Your family feels like family
You see what I can’t seem to see
I don’t know where to put it all
I’ll put you in a song
Oh, I was burning out, but then you said
Oh, “You should leave the light on”
And I’ll go if you ask me to, but then again
Don’t drop me off
Oh, well it can’t be a coincidence
Oh, that I falter when you’re gone
And I cope, but I promise you it’s different
You’re strong, I’m not
You’re strong, I’m not
It’s the shape of your hands
Made me brave once again
You became where I land
Now you hold all of it
You hold my hand through turbulence
You sugarcoat the oxygen
My lungs are full, I’m sick again
I feel you coming on
Of all of your afflictions, that is my favorite one
Oh, well, it’s turning out I’m better when
Oh, when you stop and stick around
I’ll go anywhere you want, but then again
Well, I like this house
Oh, I was burning out, but then you said
Oh, “You should leave the light on”
I’ll go if you asked me to, but then again
Don’t drop me off
Don’t drop me off
