My Soul To Keep

Yeah

Yeah, yeah

I don't like to go outside

I wear it all on my sleeves

God knows that I've tried but my shirt isn't as warm as it seems

And I don't like to cry

So I wear a smile that's made of glass

And I'll cover up my eyes two times

Once in the front twice so I can't look back

Try to make me look back

Try to make me look bad

Try to make me feel sad

Every time I push back

I gotta push back

I need that

Gotta control where my head is at

Grab the reigns

No slack

Holding on tight for my life

True facts

Yeah

Ok

Listen

My mama told me not to lay with the monsters that put dreams to sleep

So I'll stay awake all night, turn on the light

And pray the Lord my soul to keep

My mama told me not to lay with the monsters that put dreams to sleep

So I'll stay awake all night, turn on the light

And pray the Lord my soul to

My soul to keep

When I wrote this I could hardly sleep

When I was younger I could feel the beat

But I was laughed at singing so I took a seat

Yeah I sat for 9 years

With little to no tears

Cause I don't like to cry

Said I don't like to cry

Look

My mama told me not to lay with the monsters that put dreams to sleep

So I'll stay awake all night, turn on the light

And pray the Lord my soul to keep

My mama told me not to lay with the monsters that put dreams to sleep

So I'll stay awake all night, turn on the light

And pray the Lord my soul to keep

I try not to look to the future

I just look at my dreams

And I work hard everyday to get what I see

Cause thoughts of the future bring clouds of uncertainty

Bring back past thoughts that I'd rather not have in me

Keeping it real

This is my honesty
