Even the robin that cuts the dawn
Even his sound knows which side he's on
Nothing that stays where it has been in the black
And the light is a candle on my screen
It flickers the reel of this same old dream
Holding me in this middle moon, looking back
I won't let it drink me down like a secret
I won't give in anymore than I've given
No matter how or hard enough
I'm still gonna drink from that broken cup
Yeah, it knows which side I'm on

I have done wrong, I’ve done wrong, I’ve done wrong
And that weight will follow me, but that weight is the world's
And the world is not mine, it is the place where I am
And I have lost, I've lost, I've lost
And that won't let go of me
But that story’s not me, it's just who I can't change and not who I can

I don't see the desert for its sand
I don't see the water for dry land
All that I love has turned to fuel for the fire
And it's gonna burn me with its touch
It's gonna fill my loving cup
Yeah, it knows which side I'm on

No, that story’s not me
It’s just who I can’t change, and not who I am

All it keeps me from
