My Apology Pt. 2

Lyrics: I left the pen on the stand, let the dust settle in Couldn’t find a single word to describe where I’ve been Every sad felt too heavy, every happy felt hollow Caught up in a misery that I just had to wallow I locked up my feelings, threw the key in the dark Trying to put together pieces of a fractured spark I know the silence was deafening, I know it kept you awake But I had to step away for my own sanity's sake So this is my apology wrapped up in a thank you For holding down the fort when my words were never due You stood out in the freezing rain while I weathered the storm Kept the embers burning bright, kept the memories warm I was shattered in some places that I couldn’t defend But you waited for me quietly right down to the bitter end Had a heartbreak that felt more like a heart attack But don’t worry, I’m good now and my art is back This for the fans that follow to the ends of the earth I’ll always give you more so you never have dearth The story goes on cause life always goes on Don’t matter if I was wrong or if I was strong Thank you for having a little patience I’ll be the voice of a generation So this is my apology wrapped up in a thank you For holding down the fort when my words were never due You stood out in the freezing rain while I weathered the storm Kept the embers burning bright, kept the memories warm I was shattered in some places that I couldn’t defend But you waited for me quietly right down to the bitter end I’m trading the ghosts for a brand new track Turning all the sorrow into the fire I lacked Every scar on my sleeve is a lyric on the page And I’m finally ready to step back on the stage We bled through the speakers, we cried in the chords Now we’re sharpening the pain into double-edged swords Yeah, the pen is in my hand, and the static is gone To the ones who stayed loyal when the nights were drawn long I owe you my breath, I owe you my name I’m back in the scene, and we're changing the game
