lyrics

Judgement day
Or just some rain
I take what come
And come what may
Cuz just to be
Is burden enough to take.

When kingdom come
I’ll be on the run
Hiding under
Every rock under the sun
I done my best
But never caught up with the rest.

As my heart softens everything gets harder
One day I’ll wake up
And forget everything I knew
Walk down the avenue, free
But I can’t come home and let you see
Me this way.



Since I was born
I been torn
Between speech and groan
And I got hurts
But a callous never grows
To stop the pain.

I shot a man
Over gamblin’
But I know someone
Who pulled some strings
And got me off in 6 months clean
If I promised never
To be seen.

As my heart softens everything gets harder
One day I’ll wake up
And forget everything I knew
Walk down the avenue, free
But I can’t come home and let you see
Me this way.



And I gave my youth
To feed my own
And all that work
Left me alone
Even the birds don't eat
What I throw.

And my past toward
Over my soul
When I was only
Only six years old
Blockin' my sunshine
So I grew up
In the cold.

As my heart softens everything gets harder
One day I’ll wake up
And forget everything I knew
Walk down the avenue, free
But I can’t come home and let you see
Me this way.
