Go Getter

Grief's a sheet of tin foil that I crush inside of me
A story to be told in every fold and every crease
I'm smoothing out the edges
Cutting corners piece by piece
But I can barely breathe

Anger is a sickness and it's boiling in my blood
So I seethe into the void that's left behind with every thud
Of the door that leads to healing
When I come close, it swings shut
Well I've had enough

Try to give it time, life will teach you how to live
You just have to live it for a while

Ho-oh ho-oh
Pull it together
Ho-oh ho-oh
Shake off the pressure
Ho-oh
Sometimes you gotta burn it down to build it better
Love it or hate it, it's now or never
You gotta be a go getter

Sorrow took you over like a cloud above your house
Though you built it for your burdens
more were coming unannounced
I brought flowers for your garden
But the weeds still choked them out like a seed of doubt

Hope was sending signals but you couldn't see the signs
You had spent your whole life
Driving all those thoughts out of your mind
With your foot pressed to the pedal
You decided it was time, what did you leave behind?

Try to give it time, life will teach you how to live
You just have to live it for a while

Ho-oh ho-oh
Pull it together
Ho-oh ho-oh
Shake off the pressure
Ho-oh
Sometimes you gotta burn it down to build it better
Love it or hate it, it's now or never
You gotta be a go getter

And if I leave it all to hindsight
Is there anyone to blame?
And if I tell you that I'm sorry
Can I leave behind the shame?
You should've pushed through the lie
You should've given it time
But who am I to preach
When I can't even say goodbye?

Ho-oh ho-oh
Pull it together
Ho-oh ho-oh
Shake off the pressure
Ho-oh
Sometimes you gotta burn it down to build it better
Love it or hate it, it's now or never
You gotta be a go getter

Ho-oh ho-oh
Pull it together
Ho-oh ho-oh
Shake off the pressure
Ho-oh
Sometimes you gotta burn it down to build it better
Love it or hate it, it's now or never
You gotta be a go getter
