Faint Figures - Hard To Take Lyrics

I have spent my whole life being troubled
All by the things that I cannot change
Buried alive from the weight of my struggle
Most of it brought on trying to escape

You can't run from your struggle
Gotta face it
No matter how far you go
It's always chasing you
Chasing you

Its time for you to stand tall
Hold your head up high
Tell all your demons goodbye
Leave them all behind to lay
The future's clear ahead
And it's plain to see
The life that I want's in front of me
The first step is all that remains
But that's the hardest one to take

It's crazy to me how long that I have held on
To the pain I should've dropped long before now
The weight I was carrying was not for me
As soon as I let it go
My goals they came within reach

It's time for you to stand tall
Hold your head up high
Tell all your demons goodbye
Leave them all behind to lay
The future's clear ahead
And it's plain to see
The life that I want's in front of me
The first step is all that remains
But that's the hardest one to take
