A Tap I Can't Turn Off

There is an overwhelming sense of doubt
That's spent a lifetime occupying my mind
The things that I've done to block it out
Have corroded the rest of what's left over time
A fading distant sound is calling to me
But I can't block it out now
I've lost the page and I've lost the count
And now I am struggling to be
How do you believe in me now?
After all the times that I have let you down
How do you believe in me now?
It's not fair and it's scary to think of my life
Without you around
My avoidance has been habit forming
I've done my best to tell a different story
It's built and bred and bled in my thoughts
Now it's like a tap I can't turn off
I follow footsteps that are winding path
Of the things I know I lack
I found the thread and I traced it back
But I struggle to be the person
You still seem to see
How do you believe in me now?
After all the times that I have let you down
How do you believe in me now?
It's not fair and it's scary to think of my life
Without you around
If there wasn't evidence
I wouldn't believe where I have been
But I still lack confidence
And sometimes I feel like shit

Without A Compass

Do I need a cardiologist or an exorcist?
I'm in distress and without a compass
Running through tunnels with collapsing ends
Under the weight of my impermanence
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in
Take a step, take a breath, then do it again
These scars aren't wounds
We heal, we mend
They remind us of where we've been
It feels wrong to sing the words in this song
When I have had such a charmed existence
But I am still haunted by longing, and loss
Anxiety, and superstition
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in
Take a step, take a breath, then do it again
These scars aren't wounds
We heal, we mend
They remind us of where we've been
For so long
I need a change of tide, a place to start
To put the pieces back together after falling apart
To find the strength to cry, then to dry my eyes
And finally learn to love myself in the next part of my life
I recognize that I am loved and I want to thank you
For never giving up on me
