Lyrics
Wears Me Down
Music & Lyrics: Todd Thibaud
Outside the open door, will I find nothing more than the man I left behind
I carry my mistakes, I know what it takes I’ve done the same thing every time
And the silence hits me like a hammer blow
There’s no force of nature in this world
That could wear me down, like it wears me down
There’s no form of torture a man could wield
That could wear me down, like it wears me down
Inside my mother’s eyes, I find no surprise at all just her love unbound
She sees the best in me, I wish that I could agree but I feel like a man going down
And the hounds of failure howl outside my walls
There’s no force of nature in this world
That could wear me down, like it wears me down
There’s no form of torture a man could wield
That could wear me down, like it wears me down
I have turned my head from the worst I do
I have crossed my heart a thousand times it’s true
I promise only truth, I’ve given guarded rhymes
Swore my life would change, but never found the time
And the future paces like a freight train dream
There’s no force of nature in this world
That could wear me down, like it wears me down
There’s no form of torture a man could wield
That could wear me down, like it wears me down
There’s no mortal danger in my sight
That could wear me down, like it wears me down
There’s no darkest fear in the dead of night
That could wear me down, like it wears me down
