Overdue

(album: Transmute - 2021)

I'm clean when I come through
The dirt is all on you
The lines never to cross
We didn't learn in school
I try not to stay negative
But I've seen too much here
My head, haunted by bad memories
Just further feeds the fear
I'm trying to reinforce good patterns
This could take years

Yeah, I'm getting there
There's only one way through
Yeah, I'm getting there
This change is overdue

I turned down the opportunity
Of fixing myself up
And now all the words you used to say
Still ring as true as the day you said them
Over and over again
I'm like a newborn baby staring at the sun
You know where I've been
And you know what I've done
Yeah, I'm like a newborn baby staring at the sun
You know where I've been
And you know what I've done

Yeah, I'm getting there
There's only one way through
Yeah, I'm getting there
This change is overdue

It's not surprising, how much trouble we can get in
Because trouble's easy when you put your mind to it

So put your mind to it
So put your mind to it
