A chill down your spine and an unhelpful urge to improve; but the weight of those bricks just wont come up off your chest. Another moment when you're sitting all alone but dont have the courage to take this life and own it. When you just want out, well you're sinking deeper in that doubt and your brain is in a chokehold. Now you're sinking deeper, youre sinking deeper.
Round and round we go feeling like there is no hope. I've been writing this song for a decade. With time comes growth.
You're hoping that you can steal a glance so you fight to break free from all of the guilt and all the suffering, soon you take to the streets. Now you're on the run for that ego is strong. You try to breath life in but its tainted again. Soon you're sick, soon youre sick and alone, hundreds of miles from a home that you used to love but now you dont even know.
Round and round we go feeling like there is no hope. I've been writing this song for a decade. With time comes growth.
Have you been here before? Because you know how it goes. You stack it all up just push it over.Some days it changes. In time with a change of heart. Your world rearranged. Sir can you spare some change? Living like you no longer have a thing to prove.
