The Sum

My hands aren’t strong enough to hold
All the fairy tales you’ve told
I’ve got a secondhand account
And though a small amount
I know some things are bound to make you fold
You burn too close to all these fumes
Smoking your cigarettes and setting ablaze holy truth
Oh, you
You’ve gotta figure out the plan
But you just take my hand
And lead me through a maze of black and blue
Oh, you
Oh, you

I was made to love you blind, blind
But you made your own bed, honey
You made your own mind
I’m as human as they come
But you’re not the end-all
We’re not the whole sum

You pulled a monster out of me
Or maybe just disturbed its sleep
But my body seems to want to shake
So both of us can take the blame
Until it doesn’t come so cheap
So i’ve been a splinter in your skin
Not quite invited, but somehow i made my way in
So thin the air is over here by you
And all your lack of clues
It’s fine, i’m only here to be your sin
Your sin
Your sin

I was made to love you blind, blind
But you made your own bed, honey
You made your own mind
I’m as human as they come
But you’re not the end-all
We’re not the whole sum
The whole sum

I was made to love you blind, blind
But you made your own bed, honey
You made your own mind
