lyrics

Yay though I walk through the valley of the shallow
Try not to fall for the traps of an adult
Started learning self quit running from my shadow
That’s the only thing that won’t run when it counts
Love over war so I dodge all the bouts
Still I’m pursued by a murderous clout
Trying not to cope with the herb by the ounce
Building up the nerve to observe from without
But the sin in the way of my zen
Sit to return to the ways of a kid
Light it up, let it burn for the scent
Glass house, but I still got a tint
I ain’t God, but I know it’s within
So I’m searching, got to put the work in
Rediscover purpose, I know where the church is
But I rarely surface, kinda like a hermit I’m just surfin

(Pre Chorus)

Going from wave to wave
I’m trying to find my way
No I can’t save the day but
I can help pave the way
If all you can do is pray
All you can do is pray
Go make a move to day
They’ve been burning all the capes

(Chorus)

Ain’t nobody come here to save you
Got to save yourself
Ain’t nobody come here to save you
Got to save yourself

(Verse)

Fighting inner demons this is therapy to me
I don’t do it for the a, b, or the c list
I need peace, I’ve been picking up all the pieces
To collect myself so I’m always reaching
Go out on a Tuesday like a weekend
Tell you about you like I was a deacon
Ain’t nobody ask me why I’m even speaking
They just take word for it like I’m even thinking
Tend to rattle off, I’m getting better though
I used to hold a grudge now I try to let it go
I found a light inside had to let it grow
Lit the way to you so I just let it glow
So much about me I could never know
So much about you I could never see
Tuned in now I couldn’t find a better show
Letting you inside made a better me

(Pre Chorus)

Going from wave to wave
I’m trying to find my way
No I can’t save the day but
I can help pave the way
If all you can do is pray
All you can do is pray
Go make a move to day
They’ve been burning all the capes

(Chorus)

Ain’t nobody come here to save you
Got to save yourself
Ain’t nobody come here to save you
Got to save yourself
