You love my light but rip my shadows to pieces
I could write a thesis on how people treat it
It's an unrealistic standard and you'll never reach it
You love my songs but took out all of the pieces
That you were not feeling, it's like you were not listening
To the person singing in a lot of pain
Just like you he's searching for a safe place to stay
I have discovered, my skin
Thickening over, I have discovered
There's always a path forward
Always a path forward
Always a path forward
I had to watch people I thought were my friends
Jump on a bandwagon and clearly follow a trend
Protect your business and your image
You made a choice for optics, these fools can't be trusted
I wouldn't want anyone else to go through it
But there is a way through it and if someone's gotta do it
I know I can rodeo better than anyone here
I know there's people disappointed I have not disappeared
I have discovered, my skin
Thickening over, I have discovered
There's always a path forward
Always a path forward
Always a path forward
The word I'm thinking of is polarization
We're throwing people away like don't we need everybody?
Found a way beyond a cardinal impasse
The doors are opening up and now I know that there is always
There is always a path forward
Always a path forward
Always a path forward
Always a path forward
Always a path forward
