lyrics

Left the home I known since two
Earned a couple new holes in my dirty old shoes
I moved down south to learn to play the blues
I found my homesick heart is easily bruised

I know I’ve got to sharpen all these knives
To cut through

I believe my time it is coming
Patience is what I’ve been running out
Down to the wire
This is trial by fire I require
Something nobody can give me
Fortitude when I’m coming up empty
I’m far from home
But look how far I’ve come

So it’s this or cash for captivity
So I pray a million people and my songs agree
When failure is a higher probability
Oh Mr. Mirror Man don’t you give up on me

I know i’ve got to sharpen all these knives
To cut through
I believe my time it is coming
Patience is what I’ve been running out
Down to the wire
This is trial by fire I require
Something nobody can give me
Fortitude when I’m coming up empty
I’m far from home
But look how far I’ve come
Look how far I’ve come

Give a little grit save a breath or two
Don’t waste them tying knots that you’re gonna undo
Every no is one closer to the yes you’re due
Oh patience is the name for fighting nail and tooth
