Lyrics
I've addressed this in depth
Can't express it unless
In a way still unknown as of yet to man
I need a way to express
Music isn't enough (isn't enough)
Abstract contraptions enacted
On this mind of mine, God, what's happened?
Top of mind is my own inaction
Fight my pride with lies and distractions
Over and over and over again
Playing pretend but it's easy to hide when
Surrounded by cover that so few can sense
Can you sense
All the lies?
All the pride?
Far behind the routines of life
How can a guy
Just live his life
Aware of all of this?
Am I a good man, or am I guilty?
If guilty of one sin, I'm guilty of every
Oh, oh
I need a way to express
And music isn't enough (isn't enough)
Is there even a way to express it?
All of the depth
In my heart (in my heart)
In the parts I'm afraid to accept
The applause for my art's what I aim at but next
I confess it is less than the crave in my chest
Unlock all the chambers of my heart
Unshackle the parts
Of me that believe in the lies they've been feeding me
Since I was little and seeking support
Fighting to find love, striving to earn it
Carrying weight, and hiding my burdens
Running away from the hurt, I was learning
It's easy to do when the people around you
Are not to be trusted with even their own emotions
I mean how could I pour myself out to a glass that was cracking?
I understand that nobody is perfect
But it would be nice if more people could manage
Especially parents
God, that's why I come to you asking
Take all my hurt
Help me to forgive, cause I'm sick of
All the lies
All the pride
Far behind the routines of life
How can a guy
Just live his life
