I try
I try not to get to down on myself
While in the process we got lives on the line
The deeper I get into this fight
I cry myself to sleep
Thinking what I shoulda coulda done
I never I had a chance
Oh no don't get me wrong
We got the tools to do good
But when all's said and done
I close my eyes
I try to shut em out
I close my eyes
Pretend to hear no sound
I close my eyes visualize
This is paradise
I close my heart
My conscience is my price
Keep telling yourself
The world's gonna be just fine
Ya'll play by the rules
But I'm just gonna live by mine
How did we ever get
To this point of such distraction
No excuses
Take the money
And run run run
I search my soul
Thinking what I shoulda done
Your world just stops
It's getting harder and harder to feel
Just waiting buying time looking for answers
Till I know what's real
It don't feel the same
Will I heal
Will i ever be the same
I hope I will
Crunch time
About time I prepare myself
For that long climb up on my knees from the bowels of hell
So I had some recent practice swimming against the tide
Redemptions a lonely road
But someone's gotta try
Thirty pieces of silver to reclaim my soul
I'll sing high to the heavens with my luck the gates will still be closed
Still be closed
I try not to get to down on myself
While in the process we got lives on the line
The deeper I get into this fight
I cry myself to sleep
Thinking what I shoulda coulda done
I never I had a chance
Oh no don't get me wrong
We got the tools to do good
But when all's said and done
I close my eyes
I try to shut em out
I close my eyes
Pretend to hear no sound
I close my eyes visualize
This is paradise
I close my heart
My conscience is my price
Keep telling yourself
The world's gonna be just fine
Ya'll play by the rules
But I'm just gonna live by mine
How did we ever get
