Shift

you say you appreciate the world
but you don't appreciate yourself
i don't know what kind of world
you've built up to make that possible

when you beat yourself up
thoughts swinging and kicking at your soul
feeding into the lies
inflating that ego you know you want to kill

when your ship has turned to driftwood
the only way to go on is shift
grab hold to what is left
the pieces will lead you towards the right

when you lie awake at night
with your thoughts coming and going in an instant
just know that in an instant
i'd be there with hands stretched out

you say you're gonna change the earth
but you can't change yourself
i don't know what else to tell you
if you won't heed my advice

i know this isn't what you want to hear
and i understand the truth is hard to swallow sometimes
all i'm wanting to do is see you happy again

when your ship has turned to driftwood
the only way to go on is shift
grab hold to what is left
the pieces will lead you towards the right

way back when we were young
and everything wasn't said and done
i knew you cared, i knew you so well
the only reason i'm writing
is to say i miss you

all i'm wanting to do is see you shift
