lyrics

I’m alive once again
It's good to have a loyal friend
I’m okay now
I’m okay now

Wish I could be a steady guy
Let it go, let it slide
Be okay now
Just be okay now

Sometimes
I got the straightest lines
I’m a porcupine
Don’t mess with mine
Then other days
I get a little crazed
I get a lot crazed
I don’t like those days

Up and down
Left and right
It’s an ugly fight
It’s an ugly fight
I’m trying to learn
I’m trying to learn
How to glow not burn
How to glow not burn

I’ve been singing this kind of song
Man, I don’t know how loud and long
It’s cliché now
But hey, it’s okay now

So let this be a new melody
Something more understanding
It’s okay now
It’s okay now

Sometimes
I got the straightest lines
I’m a porcupine
Don’t mess with mine
Then other days
I get a little crazed
I get a lot crazed
I don’t like those days

Up and down
Left and right
It’s an ugly fight
It’s an ugly fight
I’m trying to learn
I’m trying to learn
How to glow not burn
How to glow not burn

Right now I’m on the path and I’m never gonna ever look back
No I’m never gonna ever look back, I done my time
I’m done doing all of that
