Speaking of Courage Lyrics

It's not fair

How the brain turns on itself

How I've been left to live in a mental hell

After walking through it

It's not fair

Why do I live when they all die

How can I toss my cares aside

And leave the past behind

You keep breathing in

But I can't breath at all

The world's taken the air

Out of me

Hoping for it to swallow me whole

Late nights and nightmares

I stare at the memories

Oh how they break me apart

It's not fair

Looking through books left behind

And not a word is emphasized

I'm lost in my mind

It's not fair

Canned peaches in my lap

And the fire on my back

They suffocate my cries

You keep breathing in

But I can't breath at all

The world's taken the air

Out of me

Hoping for it to swallow me whole

Late nights and nightmares

I stare at the memories

Oh how they break me apart

I hope someday soon

My scars and wounds

Will heal right over

And sleep will return to me

Brisk and sharp

Like the cool morning air

Now I let myself go

Drive down that road

Of light and relaxation

And I hope they forgive me

I hope they understand

It's been everything but easy, oh
