Start Where You Are - Half Hearted Hero

The sun is awake, it screams through the city and streams through the streets

The pavement’s aglow

Through half-melted ice buildings are reflected and brought down to earth

We tower above them like nothing now

Do you wonder how atop a bicycle you feel no pain?

And in living here, the level of fear is easy enough to surpass

Though, I’ve seen bravery shatter like glass

We’re all bleeding hearts and our sleeves are dripping red

As our blood is thinned within summer skin we let the night take over again

Today, a year in the past: it feels like I’ve crashed and burned since then

When will I learn to take what I’m worth and put that to work?

It never works out like you planned

Now I’m bored and I break at the slightest shake

I take what I can get in this town, but I wonder if I should just get out

I’m a bleeding heart and it pains me to no end

Yes, my blood is thinned but I’ve thicker skin

Than on the night when this all began;

where do I begin?

I should start where I am, this open road and open mind go hand in hand

Like singing spheres in silent space, I’ll find my way

No, I’ll make my way
