Stay Caleb Hyles

[Verse 1]
I'm caught between the future and right now
Of what’s to come and how to smile now
Sing me a song with lyrics so profound
Is that too much to ask you, anyhow?

My way with words is rather crude and blunt at best
I traumatize your heart, than ask for sentiment
The other side of this pillow reeks of salt and spoiled dreams
My arrogance avoiding guilt, "no way, that wasn't me!"

[Chorus]
To my right and left, I find a common thread we missed
A chance to reconcile, to praise what makes us different
We do not need one's validation to know we exist
Perpentually bent to run whenever we should stay

[Verse 2]
So stitch me up, I’ve had enough of bleeding my heart dry
You will pull through, you always do, I'm not a savior this time
For all to see and what will be, my glory days are gone
Replaced with more, "time's" just rewards, understanding for all

[Chorus 2]
I'll be there for you
'Cause I no longer need for me
I rest my soul in something else
That we will always try to run away from
