about

Trying to figure out myself

lyrics

Made it a habit to draw my name and place my heart inside
But every time I put it back felt the strings had changed
Then I tried pretending my heart wasn't there and
Soon enough those around me were gone

Who am I? I may never have the answer
But old habits can be broken steel threads can be severed
What am I? Starting to get the picture and I pray
Old habits can be broken steel threads can be severed

Then I tried to share what was in my head
But without my heart my voice fell short
Thought I was true, my thoughts were sound yet
My words were barbed and corse

Who am I? I may never have the answer
But old habits can be broken steel threads can be severed
What am I? Starting to get the picture and I pray
Old habits can be broken steel threads can be severed

Then I tried to find my heart one which lay still and cold
Couldn't have imagined how fragile I was, until that day I thought I was whole
It burned as I pulled with all my might to set myself free
Tears ran down my face as I remembered those lost but didn't seek

Who am I? I may never have the answer
But old habits can be broken steel threads can be severed
What am I? Starting to get the picture and I pray
Old habits can be broken steel threads can be severed

Still I pulled and still I shook for this pain in was mine to bare
Now choose not to forget times which brought doubt and fear
Had I known right from the start any path could be my true direction
I still question whether I was alive and I say 'No' with discretion

Who am I? I may never have the answer
But old habits can be broken steel threads can be severed
What am I? Starting to get the picture and I pray
Old habits can be broken steel threads can be severed

Who am I? I may never have the answer
But old habits can be broken steel threads can be severed
What am I? Starting to get the picture and I pray
Old habits can be broken steel threads can be severed
