Hard Life (feat. Micah Johnson) [Acoustic Demo]

It's a hard one to be so low
To know you won't be there when I go home
If it weren't for the beating in my chest I might ask if I'm alive

It's not in the words that you speak
But in your actions that truth comes to light
You just can't mistake what is directly before your eyes

I only find you in memory
Remnants of what used to be
I only find you in memory
All the things that you promised me

When everything that's expected of you has burned out like an ancient fire
The consequence of irrational fear that defeats me in every trial

Life's not what it should've been
Lost you earlier than we could've planned
But you can only control so much of the beast that is man

I only find you in memory
And the words that you left with me
I only find you in memory
Oh, broken promises you made to me

It's a hard one to live slow
But now you're never coming home
If it weren't for the beating in my chest I might question my life
