Heroes and Gardens

[Verse 1]
As a kid, I grew up in a garden
Always tryna keep the weeds away
But no matter how often I fought them they'd always come back
What’s the point of pulling weed like these anyway?
When I try to sleep, I get all of these nightmares
Of monsters tryna take my family away
In the middle of the night, when I got scared
I'd say this prayer, I still remember it today

[Chorus]
Will I last long enough? These nights are so exhausting
And I barely even made it through the day
Will I be strong enough to be the man to move the mountains?
When each stone feels like my bones about to break
Because I'm not a hero, I’m weaker than you know
I failed to do the things I know are right
Lately, my soul's been rotting, trapped inside in a broken body
But I promised them I'll make it through the night
So I'll make it through the night

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
As a teenager I learned all about addiction
I wish that it had been the easy way
And every night I went back to the garden [?] and keep the weeds at bay
I wish that I could call this fiction
Pretend I don't still struggle every day
I might not know how to beat this, but God only knows that I learned how to pray

[Chorus]
Will I last long enough? These nights are so exhausting
And I barely even made it through the day
Will I be strong enough to be the man to move the mountains?
When each stone feels like my bones about to break
Because I'm not a hero, I'm weaker than you know
I failed to do the things I know are right
Lately, my soul's been rotting, trapped inside in a broken body
But I promised them I’ll make it through the night
So I’ll make it through the night

[Drop]

[Verse 3]
I love my kids, even though they're not here yet
I love my wife, even though I’m not sure I've seen her face
I'm terrified because I know I don't deserve it
Will the monsters take my family away?
On my own I feel so worthless
Alone, there’s just no way I could survive
But I got my God and my wife and my kids
And I promise to them that I'll make it through the night

[Chorus]
Will I last long enough? These nights are so exhausting
And I barely even made it through the day
Will I be strong enough to be the man to move the mountains?
When each stone feels like my bones about to break
Because I'm not a hero, I'm weaker than you know
I failed to do the things I know are right
Lately, my soul's been rotting, trapped inside my broken body
But I promised them I'll make it through the night
So I'll make it through the night
