Sunrise

**Title: Sunrise** [Verse 1] Four A.M., I’m out back all alone They’re all asleep while my darkness moans No coffee in my hand, just bare feet on stone Sitting with ghosts that won’t leave me alone I hear every whisper from the mouths I fed Every old mistake crawling back in my head I try to pray, but the words come out wrong Like heaven’s been quiet a little too long [Pre-Chorus] And I stare at the dark It stares back like I’m its mark There’s a war inside of me No one else can see [Chorus] I made it to sunrise Barely made it through the night Had God on one shoulder And hell on the other side I ain’t saying I’m better I ain’t saying I’m fine But I made it to sunrise One more time... [Verse 2] They smile when they need me, then whisper when I’m gone Like one old sin means the whole damn man is wrong Twenty-five years, still they drag it through the dirt Like they never broke a promise, like they never caused hurt If I don’t deserve to live, then say it to my face Pull the trigger yourself, leave my wife with that empty space Tell my kids why their daddy ain’t coming home tonight Then carry that weight when you turn out the light Don’t hide behind your halos, don’t dress it up as truth If you’re man enough to damn me, be man enough to choose [Chorus] I made it to sunrise Barely made it through the night Had God on one shoulder And hell on the other side I ain’t saying I’m better I ain’t saying I’m fine But I made it to sunrise One more time... [Verse 3] So keep my name out your mouth if you can’t say it standing tall Take your stones and your sermons, go throw ’em at your own walls You had your chance to speak, now choke down all that pride Turn around, mind your own, go live your own lives [Bridge] Some wars don’t leave bruises Some scars don’t show in the light Some people laugh through the daytime Then break down at night I know I ain’t the only one Trying not to come undone Out here fighting what no one sees Praying for another sunrise [Final Chorus] I made it to sunrise Barely made it through the night Had God on one shoulder And hell on the other side I ain’t saying I’m better I ain’t saying I’m fine But I made it to sunrise One more time... I made it to sunrise Barely made it through the night Still carrying the thunder Still reaching for the light I ain’t saying I’m healed I ain’t saying I’m fine But I made it to sunrise One more time... [Outro] Four A.M., I was out back all alone Bare feet on stone, trying to make it home The sky turned gold, and I opened my eyes Still here, still breathing Still chasing sunrise
