On My Own

I mourn the loss the of
So many versions
I stopped keeping count

Rolled and I rolled and I
Keep rolling down and I
Finally thought I hit
The bottom of the town but

It gave out, it's dark now
Can't hear their taunts below ground
I'll heal in the silence
Rescue all the parts the adults missed
The fog clears a new life
I'll build it piece by piece this time
On my own

Grow up through the pavement
Squeeze through every crack
Had nothing left to lose
Got what I wanted
Finally saw the sun
Just for the shadows to leave me undone

I gave out it's dark now
Can't hear their praise below ground
I'll heal in the silence
Rescue all the parts the adults missed
Where light grows I'll follow
And build it piece by piece this time
On my own

Couldn't hold all the scars I collected
Left some parts behind bars for protection
Things won't always be hard I call bullshit
This ain't paradise

But I'll find sunshine wherever I can
Let the warmth of it sink into my skin
Write my name in the sand and call bullshit
I'll find paradise

Don't look now too far out
My dreams will get here somehow
Where light grows I follow
Whispers of new a tomorrow
Hold my breath count to 10
If it all falls apart I can start again

I mourn the loss the of
So many versions
I stopped keeping count
