You can call this coming clean
|
|
Or the repeat of what you know
|
|
About the struggles I once had
|
|
As I'm learning to let go
|
|
|
|
I made a pledge to myself
|
|
If I was to raise my voice
|
|
To be direct as I can be
|
|
No matter what I may destroy
|
|
But I can't say I haven't aged
|
|
I've outgrown what I used to be
|
|
I won't fake what is expected
|
|
To succeed with album three (That's not me)
|
|
|
|
Does this mean that the words won't come?
|
|
Does this mean that I'm at my end?
|
|
If my joy comes with the price of my love
|
|
I won't pay if I have to pretend
|
|
There's always a chance to relapse and fall back
|
|
To the person I still fear is there
|
|
So if this ink will suddenly run out
|
|
I'll refill if I feel the need to share
|
|
|
|
It was the fall of last year in New York City
|
|
Day two of a tour, when my friend Johnny said
|
|
"Hey, I'd like you to meet Andy"
|
|
We got to talking and connected on some things
|
|
Mutual friends and how his band started writing
|
|
But then something was spoke
|
|
I knew exactly what he meant
|
|
I understood when he said
|
|
"It's hard to write content"
|
|
|
|
And it still is, and it still is
|
|
But I won't take a step back
|
|
Though it might be for the best
|
|
And it still is, and it still is
|
|
|
|
I know you asked for some advice
|
|
They use your blood to capitalize
|
|
So give up all your secrets
|
|
To move units, display your weakness
|
|
You might spend some years alone
|
|
At the price of forgetting your home
|
|
So expose what hurts you the worst
|
|
The exchange deals a handsome return (Are you in?)
|
