Deliberate Practice

Deliberate practice is still really hard

Tell me you love me and catch me off guard

Take my advice and I'll try to take yours

In a moment of silence facedown on the floor

Facedown on the floor

I'm swallowing poison, hope my enemies die

I'm making decisions I can't justify

But I'm not alone in this big awful mess

'Cause I've got a friend and she loves me the best

She loves me the best

I'm counting my blessings by twos and by tens

I'm seeing my life through a scratch on the lens

But I'm leaning in close to the people who ache

God's present in weakness and all my mistakes

All my mistakes

It's bitter in winter, the cross of our king

The knowledge that darkness affects everything

You're quick to be angry, it's your grandmother's gift

All people on earth, from the cup we all sip

A cup we all sip
