lyrics

I'm tired of caring about what happens
I just want this all to be for the best
My doubts and unfed wonders are clawing voids inside my chest

I've wasted too much time digging holes to fill with gratitude
The shovel's worn, splintered hold reflects my current mood

I know we can't always climb out from what has been dug
You were reaching your hand out so I pulled and tugged
I guess the strength that I gave you all those times wasn't enough

Now I'm stuck 6 feet deep with dirt above my head
The tombstone above, marking my soil bed
reads "each step that I took dug a little bit deeper"
