Path I Want (Indie Ver)

[Verse 1] You chose the road That wouldn't bruise Now you're somewhere You never meant to lose Walking soft On eggshell ground Hiding your heart Till you can't hear a sound You keep your truth Behind your teeth But the parts you bury Grow heavy beneath [Pre-Chorus] You feel it now That hollow ache When safe gets small And life won't wake [Chorus] I want the path I want I want the path I want Not the safe little room Where my soul goes numb God, grant me peace God, grant me sight To know what I can change And move toward the light [Verse 2] You kept saying yes To people far away While the ones right here Watched you drift and fade You fed the crowd Your best bright plate Then came home empty Too late, too late You learned the easy way Not the fun way Now every win feels thin And slips away [Pre-Chorus] Timidity Makes roots stay small Resolve steps in And breaks the wall [Chorus] I want the path I want I want the path I want Not the safe little room Where my soul goes numb God, grant me peace God, grant me sight To know what I can change And move toward the light [Bridge] Envy keeps me tied To somebody else's flame Forgiveness cuts the rope And leaves me standing in my name Regret pulls me back To a dead-end yesterday Immersion brings me home To the moment I'm in today [Chorus] I want the path I want I want the path I want Not the safe little room Where my soul goes numb God, grant me peace God, grant me sight To know what I can change And move toward the light [Outro] Serenity For what won't bend Courage For what I can amend Wisdom Between the two And the brave, bright life I'm meant to choose
