Justin Bonitz - Mt. Garbage lyrics

Splintered and shaved I come with gifts to settle scores from before And I show no hands And I hold no grudges For I know my darkness has come and gone Enter the shoes of a worn down man I won't ask you to walk a mile, just feel their weight Can you take a step? Can you leave a footprint? Maybe it's time that you found some shoes of your own I can see from the edge of the pine trees A field that's filled with light and hope And all I ever loved's inside me It's been there, I just never noticed it before At the base of the mountain- I've been on top, and I've been below And I can feel all the joy that surrounds me It's been there, I just never noticed it before O' I've had my doubts! And I've played my games And the more I lost, I learned And I've told my lies And I've fed my demons 'Cause you can't see the good in things 'til you know what's wrong I can see from the edge of the pine trees A field that's filled with light and hope And all I ever loved's inside me It's been there, I just never noticed it before At the base of the mountain- I've been on top, and I've been below And I can feel all the joy that surrounds me It's been there, I just never noticed it before All that you have And all that you've gained doesn't show who you really are When you look at your life from the top of a mountain You'll see that you're not as small as you thought This is your time, and this is your choice No one can make it for you I could hold your hand, but you can't be scared forever One day, you'll stand and let your soul shine through And I'm counting on you to see from the edge of the pine trees A field that's filled with light and hope And all you ever loved's inside you It's been there, you just never noticed it before At the base of the mountain You'll be on top, and you'll be below And you'll feel all the joy that surrounds you It's been there, you just never noticed it before "How can strangers take on such importance to our souls?" "Because our soul does not keep time. It merely records growth."
