Unbroken

(专辑： Escalating Quickly - 2019)

For a second I didn't recognize
The face that grew from boy to man before my eyes
The lines are hard, the beard is thick, and the scars might play a trick
But the savage jaw clenched, baby chin, and flood of memories rushes in

At the time our lives seemed like a daily rerun state
Like nothing that we did could bring us to a better place
We punched the clock, worked all day, and made jokes about low pay
And watched some screens, and drank some drinks
And set alarms and got some winks then

On, keep pushing on
Past complaints unspoken
Hurt but unbroken
On, keep pushing on
To the new day
Unbroken
On, keep pushing on
Like a wheel with a spoke bent
Hurt but unbroken
On, keep pushing on
To the new day

I think back and second guess the choices I have made
I wonder how I could've won the games we plated
Had less guitars, a smaller place and a job with slower pace
And home each weekend, playing catch and walking dogs like a better dad

On, keep pushing on
Past complaints unspoken
Hurt but unbroken
On, keep pushing on
To the new day
Unbroken
On, keep pushing on
Like a wheel with a spoke bent
Hurt but unbroken
On, keep pushing on
To the new day

We live and then we try
And then we hurt and then we die
We live and then we try
And then we hurt and then we die

On, keep pushing on
Past complaints unspoken
Hurt but unbroken
On, keep pushing on
To the new day
Unbroken
On, keep pushing on
Like a wheel with a spoke bent
Hurt but unbroken
On, keep pushing on
To the new day

Past complaints unspoken
Hurt but unbroken
To the new day
