Day Seeker

[Verse 1] I left the map face down on the kitchen tile Your red pen circling every safe mile The bus doors sighed at the edge of town I took one breath and I put it down [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Be careful what you chase” I heard the lock click into place [Chorus] I’m a day seeker, cutting through the gray I want the truth that doesn’t look away If I get lost, let the road run wide I’d rather break than live a borrowed life [Verse 2] My old room keeps the shape of my name Dust on the trophies, none of them came I’m done rehearsing the words you approve I’ve got a whole world left to prove [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Be careful what you chase” I heard the lock click into place [Chorus] I’m a day seeker, cutting through the gray I want the truth that doesn’t look away If I get lost, let the road run wide I’d rather break than live a borrowed life [Bridge] No more permission, no more disguise No more shrinking to fit your lines I’m not the promise you kept on a shelf I’m out here finding the rest of myself [Breakdown] Cut the cord Kick the door I won’t carry your fear anymore [Final Chorus] I’m a day seeker, cutting through the gray I found my voice and I’m not giving it away If I get lost, let the road run wide I’d rather break than live a borrowed life [Outro] The road runs wide And I’m still alive
