Healers

They all gather together with their open wounds
They've come to drink their fill
So what am I doing here?
(What am I doing here?)

We are not healers
We are just patients of change
Swallowing bitter pills
To find a remedy

Introspect in a room of nodding heads
Where no one's listening

You want the truth?
I'll tell you how I see it

I see a room of enablers
Picking their scabs
Under the guise of healing
Drink your fill

I'm surrounded by acquaintances
And not a lot of friends
They're putting on the same old record
And expect something to change
Self aware but never any wiser
No longer a burden but a bed you lie in
I'm done with being defeated
And I'm walking away

Don't try to explain yourself
I need to do this on my own
And when you've had enough
I'll see you on the other side

We are not healers
We are just patients of change
Swallowing bitter pills
To find a remedy

Because no one is coming to save me
We have to save ourselves

One day you'll get the message
One day you'll take the medicine
Step out from the monochrome mundane
To live in the vibrance of our dreams

I'm forgiving myself of all that I've been through
This is the change around us and the change in you

This is the change around us and the change in you
(We are not healers)

You're an unfinished work
A portrait left to complete
You have yourself to forgive
And your whole life left to live
I'm forgiving myself of all that I've been through
This is the change around us and the change in you
