One Foot In The Grave (feat. Aaron Pauley of Of Mice & Men)

Too Much

If I knew what I was doing,
I would’ve walked a different path
But I didn’t.

“Life is not accommodating to fools.”
Yeah… that one hits deep.

Hard lessons carve you clean,
Young hearts burn where I have been.
Everything I thought was right
Looking back, it sounds almost funny tonight.

Back in the day, I had a plan,
Tried to follow it the best I can
Got derailed by toxic hands,
Lost thirty years to circumstance.

Can I just restart my life?
Go back and make it right?
Not follow this broken trail
Oh my God… how did I fail?

Why?
Why?
Has this all grown so hard for me?
In the later years of life,
Nothing’s coming easily.

TELL ME WHY
WHY I KEEP BREATHING IN THIS PAIN!

TELL ME HOW
HOW I KEEP FALLING DOWN AGAIN!

I’ve bled for years with nothing gained,
Drowned my hope in acid rain,
But STILL I RISE, again,
But still I stand inside the flame!

Break me
TAKE ME
But you will NEVER erase me!

I’m not done
NOT YET!
My heart beats back against regret!

This is the moment
THIS IS THE SOUND
Of a broken man
Who REFUSES
TO STAY DOWN.

Back in the day, I had a plan,
Held it tightly as a younger man
Got dragged off course by storms I let in,
Now thirty years on…
I can’t find the plan again.

But sometimes a new soul appears
Bright enough to cut through years.
Makes me pause upon the brink…
Makes me breathe…
Makes me think.

Think about the possibilities.

Is this person meant for me?
What fate’s been thrown in front of me?
Am I too scared to take the chance
This single, fleeting shot at romance?

Do I reach for it?
Do I get denied?
I tell myself “never again,”
But I lie… yeah, I always lie.

’Cause I know I’ll try again
Follow my heart again,
Look the fool again,
Make the same mistakes
Again and again…

If I knew what I was doing,
I would've done it differently
But hell, I don’t know what’s going on,
Feels like I'm asleep at the con.

It all comes down to sensibility:
Stay in your lane, but don’t refrain
From building your life
Into something worth the pain.

You never know what’s on the horizon,
So buckle in, hold on, keep rising.
And if you can’t provide
Don’t fear, just survive.

’Cause the only other option…
Is the eject seat.
Take the knife,
Fade out into history
An easy out, some people say.

I’ve walked through storms alone,
But I still stand… I still grow.
The past can take its pound of flesh,
But it won’t tell me where to go.

A flicker in the darkest night,
A hand that kept my soul upright
A reason now to stay alive,
A reason still…
To try.

If I could live it all again…
Maybe I’d still make every sin
’Cause every wrong and every fall
Led me here…
To feel it all.

I’m still here.
And I’m still rising.

Despite my Fear.
