The Test

(album: Silver Linings - 2020)

Toss the anchor, ditch the oars
I know what's worth fighting for
Clip the wings, break the ties
That bind me to this cheap disguise
Day in, day out
Maybe we get stronger in the end

Dig way down deep inside
And swallow all your pride
'Cause you know how it's done
But, it takes a lot of work, a lot of drive
Tell me when you see a version of me
The person you want me to be

Falling forward, crashing down
Facing backwards, turn around
Close the door on emptiness
And skip the scene of discontent
Day in, day out
Maybe we get stronger in the end

Dig way down deep inside
And swallow all your pride
'Cause you know how it's done
But, it takes a lot of work, a lot of drive
Tell me when you see a version of me
That you want me to be

It's better that you have a plan
When you're worse off than you understand

Day in, day out
I know we get stronger in the end

Dig way down deep inside
And swallow all your pride
'Cause you know how it's done
But, it takes a lot of work, a lot of drive
Tell me when you see a version of me
The person you want me to be

Dig way down deep inside
And swallow all your pride
'Cause you know how it's done
It takes a lot of work, a lot of drive
Tell me when you see a version of me
You want me to be
