  • All my life
    Been running from a pain in me
    A feeling I don't understand
    Holding me down

    So rain on me
    Underwater
    All I am, getting harder
    A heavy weight
    I carry around

    Today
    I don't have to fall apart
    I don't have to be afraid
    I don't have to let the damage
    Consume me,
    My shadow see through me

    'Cause fear in itself
    Will reel you in and spit you out
    Over and over again
    Believe in yourself
    And you will walk
    Now, fear in itself
    Will use you up and break you down
    Like you were never enough
    Yeah, I used to fall, now I get back up.

    I'm up here
    I'm looking at the way down there
    I'm staring through the I don't care
    It's staring back at me

    The beauty is
    I'm learning how to face my beast
    Starting now to find some peace
    Set myself free, yeah

    Today
    I don't have to fall apart
    I don't have to be afraid
    I don't have to let the damage consume me
    My shadow see through me

    'Cause fear in itself
    Will reel you in and spit you out
    Over and over again
    Believe in yourself
    And you will walk
    And now, fear in itself
    Will use you up and break you down
    Like you were never enough
    I used to fall but now I get back up

    I'm moving on
    Oh God just move on

    Today
    I don't have to fall apart
    I don't have to be afraid
    Get back up
    Get up

    Feel it, fear, wow
    And now fear, fear in itself can use you up
    And then breaks you down
    You're never enough
    And I used to fall

    Breathe
    Ask for more
    If you're bitter still
    Ask him to help you carry on Writer/s: BLUE MILLER, JUSTIN FURSTENFELD

  • Cheryl Ellis from MissouriAs a song writer I m sure you write your best when down and melancholy your music hits my very soul. The dynamics of your experiences are profound.for myself and ty, ty , ty for sharing yourself, your life challenges and the end results with the social media, fans and music lovers. You have touched many and that's is God's work through you. What an eternal gift. Music is magical and needs no language barriers nor boundaries it is universal and omnipotent. I personally share the the process of addiction and self loathing and then self love and respect and your mother even though she has passed knows your every feeling, every success and emotion and therefore her work is complete and yours has begun. You likewise myself are a work in progress. God bless your journey Don t stop what y[ur doing and your example is something your daughter will understand and be proud of her daddiesrebirth S a whole person now able to give and receive love and truth. We learn to teach others and as we teach we therefore learn more and wisdom blossoms like pollen when all conditions are right propagate aandcresteanew beautiful exisyence.
