about

This one takes some really dark turns. Sometimes stuff gets scary in my head, man. But... This song ends on a major chord that appears nowhere else in the song. There's a reason for that...

lyrics

I’m tired of dealing with trigger warnings,
restless nights and empty mornings.
This day’s turning out just like the rest.
I’m tired of praying, tired of wishing,
acting like there’s nothing missing,
talking to someone I’m not sure is listening, at best.

I’m getting used to letting go.
Please don’t let go of me.
I’m not getting better, I’m just getting old.

Talking to myself again,
instead of my invisible friend.
Followed through to the logical end,
I would be dead by now.
Pleading for another case of
logic confounded by grace.
I could use another about-face
of hope inside the doubt.

I’m getting used to letting go.
Please don’t let go of me.
It’s letting you in that scares me the most.

Sometimes in my darkest hour,
I see a room that’s filled with flowers,
and my name is written on the cards.
I know my friends and family love me.
I know that there’s a God above me,
but there’s a man in my mirror
who makes trusting in that hard.

I’m getting used to letting go.
Please don’t let go of me.
I’m not over the edge, I’ve just crept up close.
