Praise and Blame

Verse1
I have watched the birth of a dying scene
There's no way it could last any longer
But I can't tell if it's killing me
Or if it's making me stronger
So I'll hold my breath as I slide under water
And hope what comes next has way more to offer.

Chorus
I'm learning all the ways
To wear out your name
What else really is there?
Only praise and blame.
So I'll keep on changing
While you stay the same.

Verse2
I'm growing into a place in my life
Where it's ok if it all comes unglued
I've lived every day like I was dying
Sometimes I forget that it's true
So I'll catch my breath when my lungs remember to
And hope what comes next will finally cut through.

Chorus
I'm learning all the ways
To wear out your name
What else really is there?
Only praise and blame.
So I'll keep on changing
While you stay the same.

Bridge
Becoming something else
is the best hope I've got.
Don't fear what I am
Fear what I am not.

Chorus
I'm learning all the ways
To wear out your name
What else really is there?
Only praise and blame.
So I'll keep on changing
While you stay the same.
