You Are Everything - Holding Absence

Some kind of doubt, poisons my mind

Some kind of hope we struggle to find

Dreams die young — So don’t forget to chase them

The devil on my shoulder hums an old drone

My fingertips are just blood, nerve, and bone

I’m seeking solace in the promise

That there is more to life than this

All of the blood, sweat, and tears I shed to drown out the fears

It’s been a thousand weeks of grinding my teeth

The salt of the earth has started tasting bittersweet

A silver spoon will only choke you in your sleep

I earned my heart, I’m proud of every beat

And if you hear through the grapevine that I fell from a great height

The fire in my heart has lived a lifetime

So I don’t mind.

No, I don’t mind

I’m still here to make my loved ones proud

To make everyone who ever walked away, turn around

From dust, we must return to the ground

You owe it to yourself, you are eternally bound

To face the facts and face the truth

That the hand that you’re dealt is determined by you

And if the breath in your lungs isn’t reason to sing…

Realise you’re enough.

You are everything

The devil on my shoulder hums an old drone

My fingertips are just blood, nerve, and bone

I’m seeking solace in the promise

That there is more to life than this

And if you hear through the grapevine that I fell from a great height

The fire in my heart has lived a lifetime

So I don’t mind.

No, I don’t mind

All of the blood, sweat, and tears

I shed to drown out the fears

Over and over again

Blessed are the beasts that we make of ourselves

Over and over again

Over and over again and again and again
