What Comes Around Is All Around

(albüm: Lessons That We Swear To Keep - 2023)

The past few years have felt more like a decade
Trying to steer and navigate through choppy waters
With no land in sight

Fatigue has hit my body
Like when a ship without a lighthouse
Hits the rocks
Time to lay this vessel down

Wide awake till dawn
I try to make sense of it all
But I can't...

Recollect the record
As if pictures line the walls
That depict the lowest lows
And the tallest triumphs
The journeyman's last call
Show them your heart
Stand back up when your knee falls to the ground
You may not get your hand raised in victory
But what does it it matter now

It hurts to find the words
Like a fighter that's suffered
A broken jaw
I might lay my gloves down

Wide awake till dawn
I try to make sense of it all
I've spent years in fights
With my own mind
Despite always ending in a draw
When neither side will fall

It's not like I live
Every second at the highest or the lowest point of my existence
What gives?

Not always crying in the backyard
Happy revelations in a parked car
Maybe everything was never based on the extremes
But how we all react when we are living in between

It took time to understand that
Our lives are spent within the bounds
Ups and downs they don't define us
I'll find solace in the middle ground

It took time to understand that
Our lives are spent within the bounds
Ups and downs, they don't define me
I'll find solace in the middle ground
