Bearing Gruesome Cargo Lyrics - Singles - Tourniquet

This is why I am the way that I am 

This is why I am the way that I am 

This is why I am the way that I am 

This is why I am the way that I am 

You know I'm carrying with me 

Over twenty years of pity 

My whole personality 

Was formed by others, not me 

When I look back on my life 

One that's always filled with strife 

I rode down a bad course 

Nobody's fault but yours 

My step always threw me right down the stairs 

So forgive me when I do the same thing to you 

I know it must seem like you're daddy never cares 

But if you knew what I've been through 

You'd do the same thing too 

Well I can't make a move 

Without draggin' all my baggage 

My father always cursed 

So firgive me for my language 

Please excuse me for yelling 

Pardon me for telling you to stop 

Selling to me your God in Heaven
