Motives - Forest of Daggers lyrics

If there's one thing I'll strive for It's the strength of resilience I'm finally escaping this forest of daggers But I'm not leaving without scars I'm stuck in the middle I'm caught in between I'm not saying I had it bad But it just k**s me That its taken me this long The desire to truly live In the time I've been granted I've been so distracted And now I'm lost I can't find my way Forcing shapes into spaces The pieces don't fit This is not where I'm meant to stay So I've planted my feet And I'm homeward bound I know I'll get there someday I just don't know how I'm trying to climb a mountain But I'm surrounded by the plains I'm trying to swim an ocean But I'm only finding grains of salt And now you come to me And tell me this is as good as it gets But despite everything I'm still looking up I've got to do this for me Choose which pieces to mend And after all is said and done I hope we can still be friends
