Analysis of Untitled
Jason Marriner 1980 (Pensacola)
I'm still trying to find my way, on my own
Starting over is never easy, no matter how much you've grown
But I'm taking it day by day, one step at a time
Keeping one foot in front of the other, just trying to toe that line
It's not always easy, it's not always fun
But I know one day I'll have nowhere left to run
Until then I'll do everything I can to control my emotions
To not let them get out of hand
My mind has a way of losing touch
My heart has a way of giving out
And my soul starts to ache so much
When I slow down and look about
You're not here with me and the ground is crumbling underneath
It's getting hard to breathe and I'm slipping through the cracks of reality
It's not always easy, it's not always fun
But I know one day I'll have nowhere left to run
Until then I'll do everything I can to control my emotions
To not let them get out of hand
This can't be my new way of living
Fighting these demons on my shoulders
Finding no reprieve from my misgivings
And everyday struggling to make it in a world that's just getting colder and colder
It's not always easy, it's not always fun
But I know one day I'll have nowhere left to run
Until then I'll do everything I can to control my emotions
To not let them get out of hand
