Weight is heavy.

  Hold on to your innocence cause

     Life is hard.

steel wool and sandpaper

  cant match the roughness of my heart

     I could stratch a hole in you

so dont come near



they're sleeping

  in the other room

  I can barely hear

  their breathing

i need to get away

pretty soon ill run away

yes, i love all of you

but inside our hearts,

we all live in idaho,

or that one special place



Pressure is pounding.

  dig your claws into your wisdom, cause

    you'll find yourself sinning it all away

Whiskey and arsenic

  cant compare with the smooth poison of my soul

    one drink will make you sick

so dont try to get to know me

i have no antidote



im putting on my shoes

they're not for running, but they'll just have to do

where shall i go?

Alaska, Idaho?

No.  I'm walking straight on the ocean floor

where gravity is an open door

and all the weight can come off

Author's Notes/Comments: 

run straight into the ocean until theres miles above you and

your past is gone
