the mountain

hold your head up high, draped in a silhouette, another hundred miles, another carton of cigarettes, there's nowhere left to hide, from the lies that we tell ourselves, i've already scaled your tallest peak, there's no higher i could go from here, oh, maybe it was obvious, i was never good enough, oh, she used me like a hungry drug, run 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain, not what she came here for, i'm a dead weight in a raging storm, oh, she wears me like a crown of thorns, run 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain, you hold me to your chest, draped like a memory, we both wish we'd forget, but you keep coming back to me, and all that we have left, are the shards of this tired dream, i'm already on my knees my dear, there's no lower i could go from here, oh, maybe it was obvious, i was never good enough, oh, she used me like a hungry drug, run 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain, not what she came here for, i'm a dead weight in a raging storm, oh, she wears me like a crown of thorns, run 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain, in my dreams, i hold her closer, tried to come clean but i always wake up, all these years, getting over, tried to come clean but i always wake up, in all my dreams, i hold her closer, tried to come clean but i always wake up, maybe it was obvious, i was never good enough, she used me like a hungry drug, run 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain, and when the flood came through, you were all i had to hold onto, oh, and every day i'm falling for you, we run 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain, 'round the mountain
