You can call this one an intro
'Cause I've been gone for some time
You might have seen me around
But something's been missing for a while

REINTRODUCTION
To the ones who've been with me so far
And if it's the first time that you're hearing me
I promise you that this is just the start

A couple times I've thought about giving it up
I'd be lying if I said I've never considered it
Especially when you're giving so much
And it feels like no one's listening

But I don't do it for the pay
'Cause I barely make a penny from it
Not for the plays
'Cause I don't get too many of them
But this is my way of saying what I've felt for too long
For too long I used to think I'd never need to

Had to find a way to express it so began with Awake
And now it sounds like I'm back in my old ways

Two years later, it was Paths, a story across ten tracks
But still had too much to say

Another year down the line
I decided that I'd had enough of hiding and that's when I wrote Tides

And Delta had the most honest tracks I've ever put out
But still I find myself with so much more to talk about

I spent a year locked inside these walls and my mind
Watching the world through a Skylight

Thinking 'bout my life and every compromise I've made
Only to find myself wishing that I'd stayed

More true to the values that I once had
To the version of myself that I once was

But when I look back to those days, I guess I'm kinda glad
That I left some of those qualities behind because

I never really used to care for myself
I was never the type to put myself first

Giving everything I could, with no appreciation
Often at the expense of my self-worth

That's why I wanna say the words I wish I'd heard at my lowest
To share the parts of me I used to never wanna show

So I'm never stopping as long as I've got something to say 
Now I'm back and this time I'm here to stay

This is my REINTRODUCTION.
