i feel unbreakable guilt
everybody’s just sitting on their axis
it’s just the way my axis tilts
i think a lot about life
i think a lot about death
everybody’s trying to do what’s right
with the life that they got left
CHORUS
now won’t you tell me…what would you rather be
the careless chaff or the worried wheat
2. i’m losing my sense of direction
i’m losing my will to proceed
Done running for reelection
im ready to concede
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Who am I to call this hurting
Who am I to be afraid
Sometimes your blessing is a burden
Sometimes a feather is a weight when you're the worried wheat
3. i will get on the saddle
i hope this horse can swim
right now i don't even want to paddle
i’ll be better in the morning
CHORUS
