Giant Strides

I've heard it said that
"absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence"
Hold steady
Ready? Well I've never been ready for anything
I'm in bed with them
And I thought sleeping people couldn't sin

I really didn't know
That there's no distance too great
It's loneliness that separates

The cold stares kill me
Why can't I prove myself to you or anyone?
Hold steady
Ready? Let go

Couldn't on account I'm a cutthroat now
Chomping at a bit I can't spit out
Some people just need to let it go

There's no distance too great
It's loneliness that separates
But giant strides displace my weight
As they carry me off in a sorry state
I couldn't on account that verdict fell
Bury me off of the balance scale
