lyrics

Everything you’ve ever known
Has been a product of your environment
In the safety of your home
Where every picture is a memory
Of someone you’ve considered to be
A hero disguised in their human form

If belief is all about timing
I’m too young to start dying
But too old to put it off
The irony
Is I used twice the effort
And my whole heart
To be half of who I was

Every word you never spoke
Has been loud in its volume
And aggressive in its tone
But left inside you
Despite if they’re ever wrote
The words caught in your throat
Mean something to someone, somewhere

Bravery comes in many forms
Sometimes it just looks like
Picking yourself up off the floor
And letting the sunlight through
The blinds that yield the proof
Finding the truth means you’ve got something to lose

Your scars are something you wear
Exposed by the sun
But hidden by its glare
I’ll wear them for you
These pills collapse in their bitterness
Contrite but content
I won't let all that’s unique
Become indifferent

Bravery comes in many forms
Sometimes it just looks like
Picking yourself up off the floor
And letting the sunlight through
The blinds that yield the proof

I promised myself I’d never feel this way again
Full of optimism
But plagued with inhibition
Im wearing a smile halfway
I’d rather wear a full one and that be okay

And that be okay
