Promise

Here I go with my damn wishful thinking

I'll never stop drinking

I'll never get old

May I die long before I ever grow tired

Enough to be somebody else

All that I need is right here with me

And everything I want is well within my reach

So who should I blame when I just feel too helpless to move

Placing my heart on the shelf

Like some meaningless trophy

For my participation in things I don't believe in

I did it to fit in

An empty sort of wholeness I chose for myself

All that I need is right here with me

And everything I want is well within my reach

So who should I blame when I just feel too helpless to move

I need to move

Forward

I made a promise to myself

That I'd do better

Than I have done in the past

This motivation is real

I want to see how far it takes me

I'll keep burning

Through the winds of my exhaustion

A wind that blew from a lack of trust in myself

I've lost all hesitation

I've grown to like who I am

I've grown to like who I am
