Stride

This is the path that I follow

'Cause everything else has been leaving me hollow

Crave a better tomorrow

I've felt like I've lost, it's a hard pill to swallow

When they don't wanna see the good in you

When this is all that you believe in and you see it through

With everybody on the other side just peeking through

It only makes you want to justify the way you speak your truth

This is all I am

A gap-toothed grin in a shell of a man

Pulling past all the pretenses put in the plan

Won't put it past them if people are pulling my hand
