lyrics

Limp in as I struggle to lift the weight
That your shoulders seem to carry
Just by your indecisiveness
One lump or two?
Given time I just might erase the burden
That you bare or maybe I'll just yell in frustration waiting for you to choose

Oh, tell me
How do you take it?
When you can't decide which road you're going down?
Oh, tell me now
Do you fake it?
When someone's trying too hard to figure you out?
One lump or two?

Weighted down to your knees as you drag your feet along
And all questions are avoided with a shrug
Whatever's easiest for you
Given time you just might drop that burden to the floor as you march alone unencumbered but you're weighing down on me

Oh, tell me
How do you take it?
When you can't decide which road you're going down?
Oh, tell me now
Do you fake it?
When someone's trying too hard to figure you out?
One lump or two?

Just like a dumbbell second guessing yourself
Because nothing is acceptable to your eyes
You want both but you only get one
Colour me disinterested because you can't decide
Because you can't decide
Why not let everyone figure your life out for you?
One lump or two

Oh, tell me
How do you take it?
When you can't decide which road you're going down?
Oh, tell me now
Do you fake it?
When someone's trying too hard to figure you out?
One lump or two?

How do you take it?
When you can't decide which road you're going down
Oh, tell me how will you take it when you realize I'm not sticking around?
One lump or two?

Drawing on Scars Atlanta, Georgia

Drawing on Scars is not a band in the traditional sense. The project started out as an online collaboration, with Will Thacker teaming up with various vocalists to help his music come to life.
The music has an aggressive edge to it, but it’s also quite melodic and textural, combining soothing landscapes with hard-hitting riffs. ... more
