Sleepfirst - Growth

I'm not alone, I'm independent.
Being distant sets me free.
Whenever I grow close, acquire hope.
It takes its toll on me.

Three years old and a newborn brother.
I received the news from my mother and father.
My little brother wasn't coming home.
With a saddened heart I sat in the living room.
My family around me.
That's when I understood, what life is about.
And life is such a mess.
Such a mess.

I'm not alone, I'm independent.
Being distant sets me free.
Whenever I grow close, acquire hope.
It takes its toll on me.

But I have learned from loss and heartache.
I won't let this bury me.
I'm not alone, I'm independent.
And I won't let life break me.

You provided me with closure, so that I could move on, comprehend.
Forced to orchestrate my life, heal the brokenness.
But through the good and bad, my life is an outlet to see the world/write songs about it.
And I wouldn't change any goddamn thing.
