Moving Parts

when you let those chains tighten around your neck do you really care what happens next? when you're boxed in, tied down, caught up, held down the weight of life keeping your eyes on the ground it's so easy to get stuck not so easy to get free not a seconds notice, you give up on trying to succeed it's happened to you, it's happened to me identify what's holding you back, shrug it's burden off your back, try to re-align ambition lay new tracks i know you got it in you, i know it and so do you don't you? so stop, take a breath, fresh make a new start feel that urge open your eyes taste that courage, take a step, resume that search uncharted time like lands lie ahead maps need to be drawn, words need to be said life, move, speak reconceive, recalculate, learn from yours and live what feels right, some days it seems so hopeless but you can't have shadows without a light, the deepest depths are still affected, in the deepest darkest puddles you are still rejected you're turning back, you've got to push on open eyes, "darkest before dawn" we can only take so much, but we can take so much we can take a beating and still keep breathing hearts take a licking but keep ticking, someone once told me to stick it out, don't let anyone else tell you what you're about, we allmake mistakes, this life's a lesson we live, we learn, we think, we question so it's saturday and you're barely awake a late night's struggle leaves a bitter taste but the sun is beating on your windows, let the light in the air is cool, cooler now, the sky seems blue, bluer now and you're ready to face whatever it is you're fighting
