Lyrics

I didn't fall like thunder rollin'
Just leaked slow like a busted canteen
Told folks the quiet in my chest
Meant peace but it was killin' me clean
Watched my buddies slip to shadows
Good folks taken by the undertow
I laughed like nothing touched me
But grief'll follow everywhere you go
I found a patch of ground that held me up
Even when my knees were shakin' bad
Healing ain't some loud salvation
Just a low hum risin' from the sad
I ain't perfect never could be
But for once I understood—
I finally found a place to stand
In a cedar room with a stove burnin'
Voices soft as rain on tin
They didn't need excuses
Just let the truth crawl out again
Hope burned sharp like strong warm liquor—
Hurt like hell but warmed me still
Now I'm seven years from where I started
Walking past the dark that meant me ill
I found a patch of ground that held me up
Not a hero just a man
Healing ain't a roar of thunder
It's a lantern in your hand
I ain't perfect never could be
But for once I understood—
I finally found where I can stand
