lyrics

It's like a weight's been lifted, done with sifting through the broken shards of my tired lack of self-esteem
I'm finally over the aching, the constant feeling that I'm bound to burn out
It's like I woke with the knowledge that I can't go through my whole life living with my head down, waiting for nightfall

(chorus)
Keep in mind; you'll fall behind, but it's nothing you can't shake.
Speak your mind with ease, and move on from the memory

I guess the joke's on me again, I didn't quite catch the punchline
So forgive me for my recent absence, I've been caught up in habits
I was certain that I'd left behind
I've been a prisoner of the moment in the fortress of my mind,
where contradiction was commonplace
I never liked digging up old bones just to have them thrown in my face

I've been on my high horse far too long, telling myself that I can do no wrong
When I know it's quite the opposite in fact

(chorus)

I've been on my high horse far too long, telling myself that I can do no wrong

(chorus)
