lyrics

I smell smoke
Crowding in my lungs
Burning the hairs in my nose
With each song I've sung
My home is burning
My soul is on fire
I pray, these flames
Will push me higher

I'm not as tall
As I should be
And I do not mean
The height of my body
This world's not safe
Life's not fair
Wouldn't you rather risk that
Then stay scared?

I found my soul
When I broke my heart
A hole the size of my body
Was dug
It wasn't Alabama clay
That drove me away
I built this house
Out of Tennessee mud

I've seen my blood
It's velvet red, like yours
Mine runs thicker
Now that I am at your door
I gave it my all
And I know that I fell short
I'll shed my skin
Until I'm comfortable again

I make pebbles
Look like gold
I'll break the man
That broke the mold
I sold my soul
And rebuilt my home
Get behind me now
So I don't feel alone

I've seen my blood
It's velvet red, like yours
Mine runs thicker
Now that I am at your door
I gave it my all
And I know that I fell short
I'll shed my skin
Until I'm comfortable again
