This is probably the song I’m most proud of. My friend Ali asked for new songs about mental health for a project they were working on and I was able to write this
Never took the easy road, pushing on against the cold
Fear strikes as the starting gun, signals that it’s time to run
This is where your troubled mind, thinks to all that’s left behind
Lyrics
What do you see, a pile of broken dreams
A life ripped at the seams, you don’t know what it means
What do you find, a place where you unwind
A calmer state of mind, but still you feel confined
What do you know, you cease to feel the glow
Your smile is just for show, there’s nowhere left to go
What do you hear, an awful cry of fear
You’re holding back a tear, the end is drawing near
You see a light shine in the distance
But your fortune starts to stray
As the path of least resistance
Starts pushing you away
What do you feel, the pushing force of steel
You don’t know how to deal, you can’t believe it’s real
What do you care, this feeling can’t compare
This really isn’t fair, you’re starting to despiar
How are you wired, when you should feel inspired
Instead you feel retired, how has this transpired
So you run, can’t think why you’re the one
So you head towards the sun, knowing you are done
You see a light shine in the distance
But your fortune starts to stray
As the path of least resistance
Starts pushing you away
Never took the easy road, pushing on against the cold
Fear strikes as the starting gun, signals that it’s time to run
This is when your troubled mind, thinks to all that’s left behind
What do you see, a pile of broken dreams
A life ripped at the seams, you don’t know what it means
What do you find, a place where you unwind
A calmer state of mind, but still you feel confined
What do you know, you cease to feel the glow
Your smile is just for show, there’s nowhere left to go
What do you hear, an awful cry of fear
You’re holding back a tear, the end is drawing near
You see a light shine in the distance
But your fortune starts to stray
As the path of least resistance
Starts pushing you away
Starts pushing you away
