Why are you always running scared
you pray things you see won’t always be there
and just know that even though you’re leaving by yourself
that I’ll be here, sitting where you left me on the shelf
Maybe your faith will be enough
to keep you well
but I have learned
there’s always calm before a swell
It’s no wonder you haven’t shown a smile in so long
it’s stamped all over that front that you think you’re putting on
and you can say that you’re “just fine,” all you fucking want
it’s time to own up to all those feelings you don’t want
Maybe your faith will be enough
to keep you well
but I have learned
there’s always calm before a swell
Journey bound
I hope that you find what you are looking for
and I’ll be around if you need help along the way
Soul seeker,
give a little guidance on the way
