I woke today
Just like everyday
Continuing to hide
The loneliness inside
All the bad things
This world brings
Testing your strength
To its furthest length
With every challenge
As we manage
To keep shaking
The anxiety waking
While trying to maintain
Those thoughts we contain
While emotionally paralyzed
Keeping our heart sterilized
Can’t be close again
Or let another in
It’s the better call
No opportunity to fall
This is how I feel
I’m just being real
I had a plan
To be a better man
I’m not always right
I still try to fight
When I should just listen
But I still learn from every lesson

I woke today
Just like everyday
Continuing to hide
The loneliness inside
All the bad things
This world brings
Testing your strength
To its furthest length
With every challenge
As we manage
To keep shaking
The anxiety waking
While trying to maintain
Those thoughts we contain
While emotionally paralyzed
Keeping our heart sterilized
Can’t be close again
Or let another in
It’s the better call
No opportunity to fall
This is how I feel
I’m just being real
I had a plan
To be a better man
I’m not always right
I still try to fight
When I should just listen
But I still learn from every lesson
