Speaking of Courage

It's not fair
How the brain turns on itself
How I've been left to live in a mental hell
After walking through it

It's not fair
Why do I live when they all die
How can I toss my cares aside
And leave the past behind

You keep breathing in
But I can't breath at all
The world's taken the air
Out of me
Hoping for it to swallow me whole
Late nights and nightmares
I stare at the memories
Oh how they break me apart

It's not fair
Looking through books left behind
And not a word is emphasized
I'm lost in my mind

It's not fair
Canned peaches in my lap
And the fire on my back
They suffocate my cries

You keep breathing in
But I can't breath at all
The world's taken the air
Out of me
Hoping for it to swallow me whole
Late nights and nightmares
I stare at the memories
Oh how they break me apart

I hope someday soon
My scars and wounds
Will heal right over
And sleep will return to me
Brisk and sharp
Like the cool morning air

Now I let myself go
Drive down that road
Of light and relaxation
And I hope they forgive me
I hope they understand
It's been everything but easy, oh
