What's Past is Prologue - Free Throw

[00:01.043][Verse 1 ]
[00:03.932]That day I watched as they threw down some seed
[00:09.684]In the dirt
[00:11.981]Around the porch where I always sit and write about what hurts
[00:19.715]It seems like some kind of sign, but I shrugged it off
[00:24.616]With nothing learned
[00:25.773]
[00:26.058][Chorus]
[00:26.922]I always look at things at such a surface level
[00:31.243]Although I'm buried in a deeper hole
[00:34.985]Always wonder why they’re staring at the shovel
[00:39.021]Not digging to save a life they all seem to love
[00:39.883]
[00:41.331]
[00:43.057][Verse 2]
[00:50.535]Then two weeks later
[00:51.972]The blades of grass were starting to appear
[00:58.193]And when I noticed
[01:00.788]I felt that inner voice whisper in my ear
[01:06.840]\"You need to change\"
[01:07.700]
[01:07.989][Chorus]
[01:09.136]\"You always look at things at such a surface level
[01:13.453]Although you're buried in a deeper hole
[01:17.196]Always wonder why they're staring at the shovel
[01:21.218]When you’re the one that didn't leave a note
[01:24.374]You don't need to stay the same
[01:26.099]Have to work for your own change
[01:28.402]Get to digging, let's get living, we can fix this ****ing thing\"
[01:32.429]I always look at things at such a surface level
[01:36.422]And at some point I had completely spun out of control
[01:40.917]
[01:43.187][Bridge]
[01:54.839]I went from tied down to my bed
[01:58.870]To tied up in my head
[02:02.609]I was searching for redemption
[02:06.316]But dug a deeper hole instead
[02:10.059]I left a shovel for someone else
[02:14.087]Never thinking to dig up myself
[02:17.831]It's a shame I hadn't figured out
[02:21.286]It's rooted in the fact I never chose to sprout
[02:25.601]With a new take in bloom, it seems there's more room
[02:29.058]For me to finally view
[02:30.968]The world in all its beauty I’d mistakenly assumed
[02:34.715]Was dead and gone
[02:37.594]Now those days are dead and gone
[02:41.048]Away
[02:41.913]
[02:44.788][Verse 3]
[02:47.095]Today I finally learned to say, \"I love myself\"
[02:51.704]Finally got out of my goddamn rut
[02:55.159]And learned that when I truly need some help
[02:59.191]Not to keep my ****ing mouth so shut
[03:02.907]Not everything should stay the same
[03:05.208]It’s okay to have some change
[03:07.117]If we don't then we will never learn from any-****ing-thing
[03:11.146]I learned to say \"I love myself\" today
[03:19.269]I finally learned to love myself
[03:23.819]
[03:31.589]
