lyrics

I started this years ago and I finished it today
with the help of the friends I made by being this way.
I’ve been torn between the person I am and the person I should be;
I’ve been a liquor loaded man, what my parents didn’t want to see.
Spirit’s what took me, you hated it so much, but by hating it and hating me my spirit was crushed.
You get what you give and I gave you my worst, I was begging for the best as I quenched my thirst


But when the sun comes up, in the harsh glare, you’ll discover me bare and exposed and alone and I’ll say
How can I push out another apology?
What did I do to bring back the old me?
But there is freedom in the secrets I keep, in the lies that I weave and the solace I seek.
It makes it harder and harder to sleep.

I want to write sincere, of having no fear, of being more than what I am here.
But it takes more strength and more might, more will and more fight than I can muster.

And when the sun comes up, in the harsh glare, you’ll discover me bare and exposed and alone and I’ll say
Help me to be the person I need to be.
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse to be just a bad memory
But there is freedom in the secrets I keep, in the lies that I weave and the solace I seek.
it makes it harder and harder (and harder and harder) and harder and harder to sleep.

And then I know
About everything that left me alone

You can't stop thinking ‘bout death from trust
When deep down you know it’s not close enough.

But there is freedom in the secrets I keep, in the lies that I weave and the solace I seek.
It makes it harder and harder (and harder and harder) and harder and harder to sleep.
