Old You

He's about to let me down again Yeah He hasn't been talking, he's awfully quiet Think he's been longing to harness the fire It flickers inside, it keeps him alive and Without the flame, what's he out to gain? Can he amount to the change that he's found in his heart When just an ounce of his pain can account For the doubt that's been doused on that flame Tell me how he overcame Recognize that it's your own fault Think about the finish line, but you don't start Cold heart, man you've never been so gone So long, so long to the old you So long, so long to the old you So long, so long to the old you So long, so long to the old you So long, so long to the old you He's a stranger in his own skin Frozen in it, don't know the limits, they're so infinite He sculpts his image with stones and sticks He owns his shit and fits into this mold That they're so against, they won't commit to change He casts blame and he's fishing for conviction No, he doesn't act sane and forgiveness ain't permissible He's driven by the physical, the digital, he's cynical Tell me what the f*ck he's even in it for Recognize that it's your own fault Think about the finish line, but you don't start Cold heart, man you've never been so gone So long, so long to the old you So long, so long to the old you So long, so long to the old you So long, so long to the old you So long, so long to the old you He used to hate himself as much as you do Every day waking up was so futile Then he realized he was the issue Decided to overcome what he'd been through If he dug the hole, he could climb up out of it Be the solution, not a nuisance, no more cowering Hit reboot, not be aloof, but be astute and true to who he was And renew that love, yeah
