As a kid i grew up in a garden
Always tryna keep the weeds away
But no matter how often i fought them
They'd always come back
Whats the point in pulling weeds like these anyway?
When I'd try to sleep I'd get all of these nightmares
Of monsters tryna take my family away
In the middle of the night
When I got scared
I'd say this prayer
I still remember it today
Will I last long enough
These nights are so exhausting
And i barely even made it through the day
Will i be strong enough
To be the man to move the mountains
When each stone feels like my bones about to break
Cuz I'm not a hero
Im weaker than you know
I fail to do the things I know are right
Lately my souls been rotting
Trapped inside my broken body
But I promised them I'd make it through the night
So I'll make it through the night
As a teenager I learned all about addiction
I wish that it had been the easy way
And every night i went back to the garden
Gpt darker and harder to keep the weeds at bay
I wish that i could call this fiction
Pretend i dont still struggle every day
I might not know how to beat this
But God only knows
That I've learned how to pray
Will I last long enough
These nights are so exhausting
And i barely even made it through the day
Will i be strong enough
To be the man to move the mountains
When each stone feels like my bones about to break
I love my kids even though they're not here yet
I love my wife even though I'm not sure ive seen her face
I'm terrific cuz I know I don't deserve it
Will the monsters take my family away?
On my own I feel so worthless
Alone there's just no way i could survive
But I got my god and my wife and my kids
And I promised to them
That I'd make it through the night
