A Pound of Flesh

My feet plow on from light to dawn
 My empty belly and my body aches ain't hard to take
 Next to the weight I carry in my chest, a pound of flesh
 Could never tip the scale that I've made
 I should have stayed, but I was never wise
 I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night
 And I pray to whatever is listening things will be alright
 ♪
 Oh, my boy, you're alive
 Your heart's still beating
 So, don't you die, don't you mind
 We all drift sometimes
 I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house
 Knowing you won't be back doesn't mean that I will stop waiting
 You told me then, "Hold me down, hold me up to the fire
 But don't you dare hold me back"
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 I see your faces in the clouds that scar the night (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
 Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 And I pray to whoever is listening things will be alright (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
 And today, I wake up feeling easy
 And find I'm on the more familiar roads
 I got a darkness wrapped inside me, but now it ain't so hard to let it go
 So keep your candle burning in the window, I'm almost home
