Guts

(album: Evermore - 2016)

It started with the sun peering through my bedroom window, shining on this restless body
I'll muster up the guts to get up or waste the day and lose your money
I've got a lot to say but never one to take your time away
I don't wanna be a nuisance. I'm just too kind for that

I've been so scared so I'm running
Far from resolve and the ones that help to
Pry me from bed every morning
Hiding away in his tomb
Take me. Break me
Disregard these thoughts and fill my head
With everything that made this worth it

So how exactly does one wake up to a world
That takes from the honest, hard-working descent?
Was born into a home of hardship
Forever independent
Why can't I feel anything anymore?
I'm not the person I was. Those days I felt so sure

I've been so scared so I'm running
Far from resolve and the ones that help to
Pry me from bed every morning
Hiding away in his tomb
Take me. Break me
Disregard these thoughts and fill my head
With everything that made this worth it
So I can learn to feel again
Help me get the guts to learn again

Leave home to go see the country
Leave home and you're sharing your body
Come home from seeing the country
Come home to a house filled with nothing
Stay home from seeing the country
Stay home cause I'm scared to be leaving
Now I feel myself going crazy
20 years old with only these songs to save me

Leave home to go see the country
Leave home and you're sharing your body
Come home from seeing the country
Come home to a house filled with nothing
Bend my bones until they break
So you can have all you can take from me
I'll still have my voice and you'll be playing games

Leave home to go see the country
Leave home and you're sharing your body
(Out on your courts still playing games)
Come home from seeing the country

I've been so scared so I'm running
Far from resolve and the ones that help to
Pry me from bed every morning
Hiding away in his tomb
Take me. Break me
Disregard these thoughts and fill my head
With everything that made this worth it
So I can learn to feel again
Help me get the guts to learn again
