Everybody makes mistakes
But when I do they have bigger stakes
They put me to shame and make me shake
Then I take some time for your sake
When things get hard I am lost
Then I get confused and my roads are crossed
There is something going on in my mind
There is something going down that I can’t fight
There is some sort of mental holocaust
Going on up inside my brain and there is no exhaust
So it just gets stuck up in my head
And i just stay out of bed as you know
Then I sit there and shed off my skin and grow
But then just get cut down again
Chopped to pieces and thrown out the window
Shoved to the curb and then
I get burned over and over again
You all thought I was talking about me, but that was my soul
My regret that keeps me up hanging from a pole
It’s hard yeah I know
I never can put my guard down
Cause when I do I get shoved under the water of a letdown
Just flailing around praying for help until I drown
Ya know sin is something that hurts you
Sin is something that flirts with you
It makes you diverse and new
Tells you things that are obverse and not true
Till you reach your limits
And you just sit there timid
Till it breaks you down and your screamin
For help and can’t find it
Looking for someone to grab you when you’re slippin
Then you look up and find that one dude
That can fight for you that can save you
But he walks away because he already gave you
The help you need to accept and do you part
Take the genuine love to your heart
And give it right back to him so you won’t be scarred
Have faith and start swimming
Get up and start dreaming
Chase freedom
fight that demon
Start running and feeding
The others who are drowning
The others that are non stop frowning
Look I’m not perfect
God knows im not
I know I’m not
No matter what they thought
Just remember when your stuck
And your lost in your own sin
God is right there waiting to forgive you
You just have to make the decision
to kneel down and ask him
Why does growing up gotta be so hard
Why do you gotta fight and run away from the dark
Why does everything gotta be so complicated and leave a mark
Why can’t life just be easy and be so much more
More than sitting around letting people die and watching war
But let me show you how life can suck
When your sitting there and your stuck
Just stick around-lemme give you a tour
Ya know sometimes you wake up and your sore
And being productive in any way seems like a chore
And your so tired that you just fall on the floor
But this should get you thinking
This should get you going
This should get you seeking
This should get you growing
Yeah people might have different opinions
But that doesn’t force you to be a minion
Like you are meant to obey
Like a dog begging to get it
Only to be pushed away
You’re gonna be someone important someday
Don’t let anybody tell you you’re gonna fail
Don’t let anybody tell you youre gonna mess up
Then watch as you climb the ranks and they’re in jail
And they have to sit there look you in the eyes and fess up
Because you did you
–
You fought for what you believed
–
You fought through
–
And you will be relieved
So what I’m getting down to
Is people have different feelings and beliefs
People are gonna tell you healing comes from beneath
But that just keeps you down
So when you can barely breathe and you think your gonna drown
Grab that hand thats reaching deep
Swim towards the light and don’t sink
Constructed from the fiery forge of my own personal grief, this song was written for motivation of others to come unto the lord in there trials and fight the water-resist drowning.
