Guitar Crucifixion

I wrote these words when I was young
Closed up the notebook, put it in a closet
Let it sit for years collecting dust
Internalized the negative, there's no point in trying this
Dedicate your life to something sure
If no one ever cares, then this is too much work

I'm not sure if I can do this, but I'm sure that I can't not
I'm sure that there is nothing else for me in this whole wide world

So I'll carry this guitar to my own crucifixion
The destruction of all of my real-world ambitions
But it's something I have to do
This is something I have to do

A voice can make the world a better place
I know because I have listened, God, how I've listened
Drawn to that green and purple stage
Singing alone in my bed, I'm sweating and I'm out of breath
That's a good sign that I should care
And if I died trying, that'd be a crown I'd proudly wear

I'm not sure if I can do this, but I'm sure that I can't not
I'm sure that there is nothing else for me in this whole wide world

So I'll carry this guitar to my own crucifixion
The destruction of all of my real-world ambitions
But it's something I have to do
This is something I have to do

I don't care what you say, I'll make it on my own
It's my turn now, you've had your day
And I'm as strong as stone

So I'll carry this guitar to my own crucifixion
The destruction of all of my real-world ambitions
But it's something I have to do
This is something I have to do
