Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's never easy, I'm signing up for healing
Time living's the meaning, just dealing with the leaving
Everybody's fronting til they crack and start leaking
From the eyes for, no, actually, scrap that, a great reason
Some I knew better than others, now you're my sky brothers
Say 'what's on?' to my granddad, visit for a cuppa
He's a funny fucker, the one and only
Used to taunt and take the piss because my clothes were worn and holey
And looking back ain't the same but it makes me smile
So I'll be holding onto that for forever and awhile
West Country boy, and this life's full of styles
Got to get over it, start weak, get strong, fuck denial
And the drugs they're supplying, really ain't reliable
Come the morning I'm still asking myself 'Why's it true?'
Then the pen to the page, no need for the names
I'm sure they all watch me struggle writing this today
[Verse 2]
Right now I only care about three women
I just lost one that's been there from the beginning
Always wish you'd done something when the light's dimming
Late night, head spinning, wishing you were still living
Then I awoke and remember that it ain't true
A type of emptiness that's hard for me to paint you
It's something that we all have to go through
I seen it at a young age from a Grim Reaper's view
This is just me to you now he's feeling it personally
The cycle is the only things that lives for eternity
Still I'm flipping out see you tryna get the worst from me
Numb with a certainty, fucking up purposely
But what's it earning me, I'm never healing
No words I could speak of could ever express this feeling
It's still peace to the lost, but not forgotten
It's time for me to heal before my mind turns rotten
[Verse 3]
Your mind reeling, it's time for healing
Beaten down and physically bleeding
Frustrated, trapped with a low ceiling
Time for healing, it's time for healing
[Verse 4]
Your mind reeling, it's time for healing
Beaten down and physically bleeding
Frustrated, trapped with a low ceiling
Time for healing, it's time for healing
[Verse 5]
Tears run like rivers on a face you ain't seeing
I'm curled up, spaced out, concealed while I'm grieving
Heart feels hollow, pain barely left it beating
Seeming like it's broken, feel emotion over reason
Cause nah I won't see em, see, yes, I'm soul seeking
Asking why they gotta leave us, where are they, am I dreaming?
Holding onto memories developed when they're breathing
Not vessels in the cemetery buried in the deepness
To heavens they're retreating, I'm tethered to the messages
That's headed to your speaker
Tryna get this to the people for the healing they're all needing
When they're on their knees screaming and bleeding the pain is ceasing
Let it out, it is relieving
Both finding peace when, still, don't do, just be
After all, we're human beings, not human doings
Who all need some healing when death is passed through us
[Verse 6]
With them hazy eyes, we share pains alike
Day and night, thinking about you, I feel the pain in my mind
Looking for that life line in the night sky
Though patterns twisted, kinda like a tie dye
Yeah we know that life's finite
Why try to hide like the pain isn't there
When in hindsight, well I probably wallowed in it too much
And didn't see who I still had until I grew up
Relate through mistakes, life lessons
Define life's essence, behind my questions
No easy answers but infinite suggestions
Stop, let me hold your weight up while you're resting
Put aggression to the side, let the shield down
Not time to fight, cause we must heal now
Looking up and it's grey so you feel down
But we gotta live each day, not see em out
[Verse 7]
Your mind reeling, it's time for healing
Beaten down and physically bleeding
Frustrated, trapped with a low ceiling
Time for healing, it's time for healing
[Verse 8]
Your mind reeling, it's time for healing
Beaten down and physically bleeding
Frustrated, trapped with a low ceiling
Time for healing, it's time for healing
