Sunsets

[Chorus]
I try to let it go before the sun goes down
Sick of holdin' onto shit that holds me down
Forgive my enemies, you know when I come round
That I’m free as a bird, I'm flyin' now
I try to let it go before the sun goes down
Sick of holdin’ onto shit that holds me down
Forgive my enemies, you know when I come round
That I'm free as a bird, I'm flyin' now (Yeah, hey)

[Verse 1]
Just saw the boys I used to roll with, damn, a lot is changin'
So many married, having babies, while I'm in the basement
Workin' on this music shit, figurin' where I’ll take it
Every day I try to patch the leaky holes that keep me vacant
Feelin’ like I'm trapped and drownin’ but don't wanna swim
Approachin' thirty, feelin' like my window’s gettin' awful thin
I'm torn within, I'm overwhelmed, I'm underpaid, I wonder ways
That I could finally find my fit and come to say that I'm okay
I lay still, questionin' relationships, and paid bills
Wonder if my bank account will stretch just like the day will
When you're in that job you hate, the minute hand, it stays still
Workin' on escape inside your brain and tryna stay real
Questionin' like everything, it seems that I don't know no more
The younger me would run and leave, I'd love to see the closin' doors
I know I've chosen mine, and you should know you've fuckin' chosen yours
If you don't like it, leave, you're not a tree, it's time to soldier forward

[Chorus]
I try to let it go before the sun goes down
Sick of holdin' onto shit that holds me down
Forgive my enemies, you know when I come round
That I'm free as a bird, I'm flyin' now
I try to let it go before the sun goes down
Sick of holdin' onto shit that holds me down
Forgive my enemies, you know when I come round
That I'm free as a bird, I'm flyin' now (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
My mother told me life was like a box of ch-, ah, no, she didn't
Really she just taught me that my biggest weapon was forgiveness
Said never to go to sleep angry or let your hatred grow
Like drinkin' poison wishin' that it's someone else's day to go
The easy path for me, lit with LEDs, was self-destructive
Like did I wanna break the mould or just become a fuckwit?
Seen too many friends just fall apart, their lives corrupted
Thank my lucky stars I chose the path that got me quite productive
Went from the chubbiest kid in the neighbourhood, rockin' my shit as P.T (Yeah)
Went from not writin' a lyric, to all of a sudden me havin' a CD ('Bout time)
Everybody tellin' me that eventually I could be somethin' to see (Woo)
Still I remember the moments, my lowest, when life as I know it was only a dream
I let the bullshit go, I let the bitterness slip
I let the stories go I'd told myself since I was kid
The sorta lies you tell yourself, like you ain't gonna be shit
So if they wanna know my secret, man, I hit 'em with this, it goes

[Chorus]
I try to let it go before the sun goes down
Sick of holdin' onto shit that holds me down
Forgive my enemies, you know when I come round
That I'm free as a bird, I'm flyin' now
I try to let it go before the sun goes down (Yeah)
Sick of holdin' onto shit that holds me down
Forgive my enemies, you know when I come round
That I'm free as a bird, I'm flyin' now (Yeah)

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
'Cause now I'm free, yeah
