Apes Together - Linear Lyrics

I've been walking up a mountain, and the air is getting thin
Thought I'd outrun all my heartache, but memories pulled me in
They said "Grief is never linear, it circles back around"
But man I can't stop climbing, even when I'm climbing down
All the hurt that I'm feeling, it'll come and go with time
Every step I move forward, I seem to fall three steps behind
They said "Grief is never linear, it ebbs and it flows"
Sometimes it gets too deep to swim, sometimes it's much more shallow
Oh, they found a photo of us, buried at the bottom of a box
It brought me to my knees and filled my stomach full of rocks
There's a voice that whispers in my ear that it's okay to cry
But I'm struggling to let it out, no matter how hard I try
I'm stitching up my pieces, but the threads still come undone
I take one big step forward, and I'm back where I'd begun
They said "Grief is never linear, it's a long and winding road"
But the load I bear is lighter, 'cause I know I'm not alone
Grief is never linear, it's a long and winding road
But the load I bear is lighter, 'cause I know I'm not alone
