Akrasia

You see the shift
In the moments when my temper starts to rise
You take the hit
For the flaws that I keep buried out of sight

I feel the break
In your voice when I’ve gone further than I meant
I hate the ache
Knowing every word I spoke was just misspent

Akrasia

Tell me you feel me changing
Tell me you see the fight in me

Pull me out when the fire takes hold
Hold me still when my heartbeat folds
Every storm that I bring your way
You’re the one that can make me stay

You calm the noise
When the old me comes alive inside my chest
You hear the void
Where the trauma pulls the strings I never meant

I’d show the truth
If I tore my heart out just to earn your trust
I’d shed the proof
Peel my skin like habits that I’ve learned to cut

Akrasia

Tell me you feel the effort
Tell me you know I'm trying through it

Pull me out when the fire takes hold
Hold me still when my heartbeat folds
Every storm that I bring your way
You’re the one that can make me stay

If I could burn
Every instinct that still pulls me into pain
You’d see the turn
In the man you’ve held together through the strain

My shadows want control of everything
But you’re the light that cuts through what they bring

Akrasia

Pull me out when the fire takes hold
Hold me still when my heartbeat folds
Every storm that I bring your way
You’re the one that can make me stay
