Palisade

[Verse 1]
I'm only days away
From givin' up this place
I need a change of pace
A change of ways
Some days I don't fit in my own skin

[Verse 2]
I am uncomfortable
I guess 'cause, after all
I'm just a carbon ball
Housin' a soul
Just gettin' by and gettin' pretty good at sin

[Chorus]
And every time I try to pray
A memory gets in the way
And I forget what it was I was supposed to say
Hidin' in my palisade
Writin' on a blank white page
Keeps my demons one more day away

[Verse 3]
I just can't understand
What makes a man a man
Is it his heart
Or maybe the heart in his hand?
How much he's changed
Or maybe it's how much he's the same

[Verse 4]
If all this world's a tree
I'm just a withered leaf
I'll blow away, find me
A new place to be
But Darlin', I hope you'll love me just the same

[Chorus]
And every time I try to pray
A memory gets in the way
And I forget what it was I was supposed to say
Hidin' in my palisade
Writin' on a blank white page
Keeps my demons one more day away
