Like a bird falling from its nest for the first time Your trying your best not to hit the floor You're looking for something you'll never find Until you take yourself apart from the inside and look out I'm not telling you because I hate you I'm letting you know because I care With cool heads and an open perspective We can lose the past and start living for now I can try to tell you That everything will be alright But not a single word can stop The demons that come for you at night Sleep it off I promise it never stops Sleep it off Don't dwell on what's around you, nothing stays the same We measure time in seasons, driven by change Everything they tell you, the lies and the shame Anything but everything to blame Tell me straight to my face That you know what's best before you even ask me
Don't me make speak my mind, you can't handle what's inside Take whatever you owe, shove it down your throat It's nothing that I care to see the past is far behind me And finally I'm starting to breathe I'm slowly focusing On the things that define who I am within Trying so hard to strengthen what's there so I can lift you up But I will never be enough On my word, breaking down All the things that define Where I'll start and end Blowing a lung to understand Where to go from this point on I'm reaching out for the last time I'll try I'll try my best to work up the nerve To give you what you f**ing deserve I swear I'll never stop swinging I'll sing it out until your ears start ringing I swear Don't f**ing test me I swear I'll never cut any you slack You know you can't turn back
