Lyrics

Stand Steady

Softspoken, if ever out loud
These days not much gets out
My mind did great through the past
But never takes the time to finish the act

Can I shoulder the burden?
Can I stomach the past?

Watch me try to stand steady
Like a flame in the pouring rain
Looking back on my youth, it's good that I've grown
Watch me try to stand steady
Like a bird in a hurricane
Looking back on my youth, it's good that I've grown

No matter how cold it might get
My bed sheets are laced with regret
I try to fill in the lines
Rework the plans for a better design

Can I shoulder the burden?
Can I stomach the past?

Watch me try to stand steady
Like a flame in the pouring rain
Looking back on my youth, it's good that I've grown
Watch me try to stand steady
Like a bird in a hurricane
Looking back on my youth, it's good that I've grown

Here I am, bearing every burden
Here I am, showing every worry
To the world
To the world

Watch me try to stand steady
Like a flame in the pouring rain
Looking back on my youth, it's good that I've grown
Watch me try to stand steady
Like a bird in a hurricane
Looking back on my youth, it's good that I've grown
Looking back on my youth, it's good that I've grown

Watch me try
