i've spent far too long
compromising my sense of self
grating my back against the broken shards of angry takers
i'm giving my best to the wrong set
cracking my chest over and over
and before the breach heals
i hand the chisel
to a new set of hands
unrelenting and unforgiving
i should still remain a light
i should still remain in love
it's all i know how to be
all i can see
is the very best of people
even if they're mean
there's no glory in this test
i'm just rolling stones up unrelenting hills
hoping for the best
the world is the most cruel to the most kind hearts
