I think I saw it coming, but I couldn’t admit
The engine came a-rolling, my butt been bit
I’m losing to my hubris that I left behind
So why won’t you to me be kind

Catching early is a kidder when his leg been pulled
He’s half-heart heavy and glass half-full
His best friend believes in the blood he’s spilt
But sees the bodies like he’s off his tilt

Hey friend, amigo merry, from middle school
I loved you like a hipster before it’s cool
Took a little longer to come along
So pardon me when I admit I’m wrong

Waylaid by ladies and a thorn in my hand
The trail took forever and blazed unplanned
I figure it was all I could do to hang on
So hear my heaven-hell, the short and long

I’m on edge
Losing grip on the promises I pledge
My dumb pride means I said the words I said
A high crime to the life and loss I led
I linger on instead

I’m unwound
My high brows lying six feet underground
My entertainment makes me nothing but a hound
Licking my wounds, got my chains around me wound
I’m in for half a pound

Yeah, I’m sure
Just let me loose and I’ll dedicate, be yours
I’m indivisible, my mind, my soul, and core
I’m all arise by the way we were before
The rain before a pour

‘Cause I’m fast as a fire, rushing up on a wick
Only up to admire, but the changes won’t stick
You can call me a liar, and no difference it’d make
I’m only here, for sun to adhere, then I’m out with the wake

Life’s difficult enough when you take the world head-on. I need you to rely on those around you when the going gets tough. Be there for them in ways only you can. Let them help you when they hold out their hand.

Despite the petrifying prospect, you won’t always find pain.
