Ok. I got this.
Here we go.

In the daylight
I am so exposed
To the things I know
That are not quite
Where I want them to
Be the things I do

So I take time
To look deep inside
And embrace my pride
There’s a lifeline
When I’m lost at sea
Come and rescue me

Sometimes my troubled mind gives me the runaround
I know, I know it’s not the only fight in town
I have battle scars from where I hit the ground
I’m still standing ‘cause it’s never been enough to keep me down

I got this

Where the seeds grow
It’s so hard to think
Tripping near the brink
And I’m not so
Analytical
Or methodical

So I’m learning
I can dig down deep
Find the strength to keep
My world from burning
Rise above the heat
Standing on my feet

Sometimes my troubled mind gives me the runaround
I know, I know it’s not the only fight in town
I have battle scars from where I hit the ground
I’m still standing ‘cause it’s never been enough to keep me down

I got this

Self-destruction
Comes from cloudy minds
The anxious, fearful kind
The seduction
It’s hard to resist
When the truth is missed

Deep inside me
I create the words
Like the firebird
They will guide me
My core and kin
It’s time to begin

Sometimes my troubled mind gives me the runaround
I know, I know it’s not the only fight in town
I have battle scars from where I hit the ground
I’m still standing ‘cause it’s never been enough to keep me down

Sometimes my troubled mind gives me the runaround
I know, I know it’s not the only fight in town
I have battle scars from where I hit the ground
I’m still standing ‘cause it’s never been enough to keep me down

I got this
