lyrics

I don’t know what happened, I woke up like this
I’m not sure who I’ve been
Let alone who I am
I hope I stay this way, like i’ve been forged by force and flame

Now the rhythms feel like they used to
I hear a song in the night, off that I take my cue
To slide a little bit smoother through these crowded rooms,
Bleeding confidence in my steadfast moves

Calling from the bottom of this ragged heart
To the wreck I left in my wake
I’ve been crawling from the bottom of an early grave
I woke up this way
I’m not the same

I’m not sure what happened, but I’m trying to dress these wounds
Battle scars from story’s of which l was not a party to
These calm, collected seas
Used to rage inside me
So unforgiving

For the first time in years, I’m composed and focused
Like great film classics, our grandparents would show us
This is the best part, the triumph of the hopeless
You bet your ass this time I’m going to own this

Calling from the bottom of this ragged heart
To the wreck I left in my wake
I’ve been crawling from the bottom of an early grave
I woke up this way
I’m not the same
I’m not sure what to say
I woke up this way
I’m not the same
