Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm chipping away
I'm chipping away
Wondering if I will ever break through
But everyday I'm chipping away
Destructing with the work I gotta do
[Verse 2]
I'm waking up with cobwebs in my coffee
Stuck inside the static in my head
Skeletons are standing in my closet
Are laughing at me lying in my bed
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm gonna get my gloves
I'm gonna toughen up
Get up, get down, and get moving on
And when it hurts
I'm gonna do the work
Little by little by little, baby, everyday
[Verse 4]
I'm chipping away
I'm chipping away
Wondering if I will ever break through
Everyday I'm chipping away
Destructing with the work I gotta do
[Verse 5]
Staring up the shadows in my psyche
Digging through the attic in my heart
Well, growing up is never nice and tidy
Oh, just tryna find my way back to the start
[Verse 6]
I'm gonna get my gloves
I'm gonna toughen up
Get up, get down, and get moving on
And when it hurts
I'm gonna do the work
Little by little by little, baby, everyday
[Verse 7]
I'm chipping away
I'm chipping away
Wondering if I will ever break through
Everyday I'm chipping away
Destructing with the work I gotta do
[Verse 8]
Oh, I'm chipping away
Chipping away
Little by little, baby, everyday
Just chipping away, ha
Chipping away
And moving on
And when it hurts
I'm gonna do the work
Little by little by little, baby, everyday
Now, I'm chipping
Chipping
Chipping
Chip-chip-chipping, chipping, yeah
Chip-chip-chipping, chipping, chipping away
