lyrics

I don't know what's wrong with me
I just know I haven't been right lately.
I've been caught between a lack of motivation and consistency

I clenched my fists until I choked,
I gritted my teeth until they broke,
I'm left grasping at the pieces of myself
That I still have left to show

And I can't bear the weight of it all
My everything
Quickly turned to nothing

I found contentment in my resentment
But that's not who I want to be anymore

I spent these last few years
Trying to find a way
To stop all of my colours
From fading to grey

And maybe I'll learn one day
To keep my demons at bay
I may be sinking
But I won't fade away

I won't fade into the background
I won't be just another let down
I'll continue to bury my roots deep
Into a shallow town

I'll find some common ground
And find home in the familiar sound
These songs are all I have left,
They're all that are keeping me around

I don't need a compass
To point me to where my heart is
The melody will always be
What guides me home

And I don't need a shining star
To point me to where my roots are
As long as I've got these songs in my heart
I'll never truly be alone

Melody
Guide me home
Take me back
To where I belong

I spent these last few years
Trying to find a way
To stop all my colours
From fading to grey

And maybe I'll learn one day
To keep my demons at bay
I may be sinking
But I won't fade away

Stop me
From becoming
Everything I promised
I would never be

I've been awake for too long
I just can't keep my head strong
Please take me back to where I belong

I hang in the balance between
Who I am and who I want to be
And I'm not sure what I believe
But one things for sure, I believe in me

With the means to overcome
I'll take what tears me down
I'll take what I'm ashamed of
And turn it into something to be proud of

I have the means to overcome
I have the means to overcome
I'll pick myself up before I'm too far gone
I have the means to overcome
