The Come Up

(album: Red Hands Black Deeds - 2017)

I tried praying the sun down
I screamed at the mountain
Thought it might fall down at my feet
But I felt the rage
It was changing direction, oh no
Pushing and pulling at me
It made me believe in an unseen enemy
Creatures that seethe in the dark
And gnashing their teeth
How can you breathe
When fear eclipses the fire

Can't you see I'm fallin'?
I could use a hand getting off of the floor
Don't you hear me callin'?
I can't fight alone anymore

Let's get this mojo on the come up
Get satisfied, ain't nobody looking for sympathy
Stop wasting time and get back on the grind
Even King Kong got nothing on me
Once I could see I was my own enemy
My demons pushing me to the dark
It's in my eyes, how far I'd rise
With my fears burning in the pyre

Can't you see I'm fallin'?
I could use a hand getting off of the floor
Don't you hear me callin'?
I can't fight alone anymore

You can't pray the sun down as long as it's up
Sometimes treading water feels like too much
Focus on the calling
Come on, you gotta run
Don't you crawl anymore

Can't you see I'm fallin'?
I could use a hand getting off of the floor
Don't you hear me callin'?
I can't fight alone anymore

You can't pray the sun down as long as it's up
Sometimes treading water feels like too much
Focus on the calling
Come on, you gotta run
Don't you crawl anymore
