WORTH EVERY DROP
Sun is going down when I drag into the shift
Busting knuckles through the night, heavy weights to lift
Got to keep the gas tank full, the kitchen table fed
While most other people are sleeping in their bed
Gravel in my coffee, neon burning out my eyes
Trading pieces of my soul just to survive
Running errands on my breaks, people I should see
This graveyard routine is slowly killing me
But I’m squeezing a lifetime into twenty-four hours
Bleeding for a concrete dream until it flowers
Bone-tired and broken, dragging through the dawn
Lord, I keep hope that it pays off, so I keep holding on
The world shifts focus when you trust your own mind
Leaving the borrowed songs and words of others far behind
Yeah, my mind is running miles while my body's running out
I’m fighting for the life I used to only dream about
Years ago I walked away, I thought I gave it all
Hit a couple heavy bumps and let the curtain fall
Blamed it on the circumstance, blamed it on the breaks
But looking in the mirror now, I made my own mistakes
I didn't really give it everything, I just quit the fight
Scared of failing on my own, never bringing my dreams to
light
But history ain’t repeating, I’m digging in my heels
I really don't care how exhausting this feels
Squeezing a lifetime into twenty-four hours
Bleeding for a concrete dream until it flowers
Bone-tired and broken, dragging through the dawn
Lord, I keep hope that it pays off, so I keep holding on
The world shifts focus when you trust your own mind
Leaving the borrowed songs and words of others far behind
Yeah, my mind is running miles while my body's running out
I’m fighting for the life I used to only dream about
Brain is always smoking, thoughts are spinning wild
Ain't felt a moment's peace since dreaming of using my own
style
Designing artwork for the feed with blood on my thumbs
Writing hooks in the dark until the daylight comes
Typing out a caption while my eyelids shake
Trying to build a following with every breath I take
Every spare second is a second I can use
I got too much soul inside me to ever lose
Squeezing a lifetime into twenty-four hours
Bleeding for a concrete dream until it flowers
Bone-tired and broken, dragging through the dawn
Lord, i keep hope that it pays off, so I keep holding on
The world shifts focus when you trust your own mind
Leaving the borrowed songs and words of others far behind
Yeah, my mind is running miles while my body's running out
I’m fighting for the life I used to only dream about
If I make it to the other side of this grind
I’ll fall to my knees, leave the worries behind
Every sleepless night, every ounce of this pain
Will be worth every drop when I’m out of this rain
Lord, I'll be so grateful just to hear 'em sing along
Knowing every sleepless night led to a dream of lifelong
I know full well that its just a chance, yeah, just a shot
It will have still been worth the seconds and sweat cause I
gave it all I got
