Free Throw – What's Past Is Prologue lyrics

[Verse 1]
That day I watched as they threw down some seed
In the dirt
Around the porch where I always sit and write about what hurts
It seems like some kind of sign, but I shrugged it off
With nothing learned

[Chorus 1]
I always look at things at such a surface level
Although I'm buried in a deeper hole
Always wonder why they’re staring at the shovel
Not digging the stable life they all seem to love

[Verse 2]
Then two weeks later
The blades of grass were starting to appear
And when I noticed
I felt that inner voice whisper in my ear
"You need to change"

[Chorus 2]
"You always look at things at such a surface level
Although you're buried in a deeper hole
Always wonder why they're staring at the shovel
But you’re the one that didn't leave a note
You don't need to stay the same, have to work for your own change
And [?] faceless fucking thing"
I always look at things at such a surface level
And at some point I had spun completely out of control

[Bridge]
I went from tied down to my bed
To tied up in my head
I was searching for redemption, but dug a deeper hole instead
I left the shovel for someone else
Never thinking to dig out myself
It's a shame I had it figured out
It's shrouded in a fact I never chose to sprout
With a new change in bloom, it seems there's more room
For me to finally view the world in all its beauty
I mistakenly assume it's dead and gone
Now those days are dead and gone
Away

[Verse 3]
Today I finally learned to say I love myself
Finally got out of my goddamn groove
I learned a way to truly make some [?]
Not to keep my fucking [?]
Not everything's [?]
It’s okay to have some change
If we don’t think we will ever learn from any-fucking-thing
I learned to say "I love myself" today
I finally learned to love myself

[Outro]
For the first time in 4 months I can say
I didn't think about my choices
Threw the almost empty pack away
I can feel my lungs rejoice
I’m finally breathing again
