I’m finding the bravery in coming home again
Alone after the storm
With nothing more to give
Than waking up
For so long that was too much
To touch a brand new day
In a way that doesn’t make me
Shiver
Quiver
Send shakes right down my spine
Sweep me out with the tide
I choose to rise
Even when I don’t know why
I’m shirking the fantasy of the sweet forever sleep
It will come eventually
Lie down right here next to me
Chisel out my stoney name
When there’s no more work to do
I want to try to see it through
I just want to
Want to keep on
Living
Forgiving
For tripping over time
Forgetting I’ve really been
Trying
Fighting my own self to survive
Even when I don’t know why,
I choose to rise
It’s a battle to go with the flow
It’s a struggle to stay
What if there’s no tomorrow?
There wasn’t one today
I’m on this track
So for better or worse
I’m gonna dodge this train
If it doesn’t stop or swerve off first
I’ll learn to live with the pain
