Teach Me How to Sing

Waking up dishoarded, felt a

Burden on my chest for so long

Never thought I'd ever have the courage

To face these moments but

Sober now six months

I haven't touched these pills

I'm finally learning how

To cope through all the hell

It kills me just to feel

It kills me to know that maybe

There's a way to heal

Teach me how to sing

Teach me not to scream at myself

When these flames feel real

I'll smile through the hell

I'll smile through the pain

As long as I know you're waiting

I'm praying for relief

I'm praying for reprieve

I finally met the monsters and

They let go of my hand

Now I can see clear

I'm smiling through the tears

Thinking of the years that maybe

I wasn't so fucked up at all

A time when I could crawl

A time when I felt tall

And I know I'll be ok again

Dark can't always win

I'll let the light shine in

For a moment when I ask you now

Teach me how to sing

Teach me not to scream at myself

When these flames feel real

I'll smile through the hell

I'll smile through the pain

As long as I know you're waiting

I'm praying for relief

I'm praying for reprieve

I finally met the monsters and

I'm praying for relief

I'm praying for reprieve

I finally met the monsters and

I'm not so scared in the end
