It may seem at times like nothing you try works, but the story of a man’s life is not determined by his patterns. It’s determined by the steps he takes to do better. As long as your heart is in the right place, and you don’t think yourself broken, but earnestly strive for growth… it’s going to work out. Just find your flow, in your best environment, and keep at it.

Hero Devil

Knew a beast of a man, never thought much of love
Sad and stony, mossy beard, and a slow pace
Living in a forest, found a peace with not enough
Knowing others proved to be a lesser bit of a waste

Wooden heart and a fistful of daisies
Cotton mouth full of words he could never say
Hand in hand, with a head full of fantasy
Hero devil wishing you and he were here
To stay

He’s been waiting all his life
To count the stars that someone set
In your eyes
When he came a little closer, saw a shine to take his sight away
Imagine his surprise

You were strong enough to stand on your own
Maybe you were like that since you met
It’s just a shame he never heard
Your heart beating even as the sun set

Wooden heart and a fistful of daisies
Cotton mouth full of words he could never say
Hand in hand, with a head full of fantasy
Hero devil wishing you and he were here
To stay

There was a time when he thought you were a fairy
Sent by god, find a reason he could be then
An illusion, how he thought you two would marry
Hit the road, find a cabin in the meadow
Make a reason just to say he was whole again

He can’t believe it
How it could have been
So he’s back again
Maybe he can win

Stick a needle in it, find him in the pines
He’s just a boy, finding bigger ways to spend the times
May be hard, but it’s all he ever knew
He’s coming back someday to show the world the ways he grew

Wooden heart and a fistful of daisies
Cotton mouth full of words he could never say
Hand in hand, with a head full of fantasy
Hero devil wishing you and he were here
To stay
