Fortitude

I see the sun come up to steal another day
I can try to resist but it happens anyway
When the moon comes up
I'm still in the same dark place
I was yesterday

Try to use my heart to heal myself again
But I can't depend on a heart
That's severed from my brain
I need a truth that's real
That lays the path out straight
Even when it rains

And I'd give everything I had left
Exhale my last breath to see
Just a glimpse of what my life looks like
When the Truth is all I believe

I saw the sun go down
Like a thief gets chased away
But its like he only took cash
Didn't touch my keepsakes
Well I'll call that my Fortitude
I'll call that progress made
Even from a dark place

And I'd give everything I had left
Exhale my last breath to see
Just a glimpse of what my life looks like
When the Truth is all I believe

I wanna dig into this jaded heart
Press the restart for a change
That lasts longer than empty words
Strewn across a dirty page
I wanna live to die to myself today
If it paves the way for grace
To come undress my wounded heart
And let me feel the light of day

I will never understand the mystery
Of how truth is found even in the desert places
And how good can come out of my misery today
