lyrics

Hope it be the wind don’t blow

Fearful if it do I fall

I'm feeling kinda shaky today

Stable as a paper plate

In an awful drought I pray for rain

Flash flood, tidal wave

I'm fearful of my thought life today

Stable as a paper plate

My eyes are feeling like a dam

Struggling to hold back the flood

When I get to livin life too hard

Life gets too hard to live

And I'm stable as a paper plate

Hope it be my feet don’t lead

Me to where my demons sleep

Steer clear of that dark doorway today

Stable as a paper plate

Hope it be her fangs release

Flush toxins from my body

My soul could use some bleach today

Stable as a paper plate

My heart feels like an empty tank

Drained and running on fumes

When I get to livin life too hard

Life gets too hard to live

And I'm stable as a paper plate

A candle flickers

A door slams closed

A voice whispers

No one’s home

My mind feels like that old stuffed bear

Dust covered in the attic and splittin at the seams

When I get to livin life too hard

Life gets too hard to live

And I'm stable as a paper plate
