Valley of Debris

This feeling has captured your soul;
it's holding on tight and it won't let you go.
For a long time, your head's been in the sand.
I try to help out but you won't let me in.
Into the easel things crumble and fall.
The mountain's built up 'til it's too much to crawl.
Things never turn out perfectly,
don't let yourself go sinking into the sea.

It ain't so easy finding yourself
when you're searching through valleys, valleys of debris.
Come up for air,
come up for air.
Ain't no use lying 'bout what you suffer to me.

You've got to keep it together;
you've got to let yourself breathe.
You've got to keep it together;
you've got to let yourself breathe.

Day after day, things are moving so fast.
Thinking too much and dwelling in the past.
Too much time left in your hands:
if you don't know what to do, just do what you can.

And now I am trying to find
a way to help you ease your mind,
but there ain't no use in me hanging around
when all that you're doing is bringing me down.

It ain't so easy finding yourself
when you're searching through valleys, valleys of debris.
You're building a wall
and you're building a fortress.
You're always smiling, smiling like me.

People say,
"You always seem so happy."
They don't see what I see.
You can't wear your mask all the time;
sometimes you've got to let yourself breathe.

Oh, find your fire.
Oh, find your fire.
Oh, find your fire.
Oh, find your fire.

Don't walk away.
Don't walk away.
Don't walk away.
Don't walk away.
