"Six Feet From Defeat" lyrics

"Six Feet From Defeat"

I've got my head on straight now
As straight as it can be
With the world being what it is
And all that I have left
Is a sense of direction
Telling me it's safe to believe

That everything is coming around
And all the time we spend on the ground
Is still six feet from defeat

Silence, come and rest deep within my soul
Cause I can't move on, I can't move on, on my own
The truth is I'm not as fearless as I used to be
So what I need is one deep breath so I can breathe out bravery

I've got my hands cleaned up now
As clean as they can be
With 27 being what it is
And all that I have left
Is a sense of redemption
Telling me it's safe to believe

That everything is coming around
And all the time we spend on the ground
Is still six feet from defeat

Silence, come and rest deep within my soul
Cause I can't move on, I can't move on, on my own
The truth is I'm not as fearless as I used to be
So what I need is one deep breath so I can breathe out bravery

I've seen that even the dark
Cannot put to death the smallest star
And I'd consider what's hardest
To be worth gold if we can survive it

Silence, come and rest deep within my soul
Cause I can't move on, I can't move on, on my own
The truth is I'm not as fearless as I used to be
So what I need is one deep breath so I can breathe
Yeah, what I need is one deep breath so I can breathe out bravery
