do what you can - brakence

Let's start this off by saying I know I'm a lucky guy

Though life's still tough, I get back up and give another try, I swear

3 in the morning, crooning upstairs

I'm tryna serenade her and speak the truth

Think back to times when I wouldn't dare to move

I wouldn't open the door for anything

It's so easy to forget

So take it step by step, stay on my feet

Let 'em burn their effigy

If the ground is hollow underneath

I can't let it get to me

Keep the pace and steady my breath

Only the ravens sing for what's left

This is no one's fantasy

But when the gavel comes down, then I'd better know my—

And in due time

We were answering before we even knew the crime, I swear

The crowd ran out, I couldn't help but to stare

I felt the air filling with certain doom

Ripe like a fruit, hanging a crooked moon

Dropping the curtain for all the empty seats

No

And in the dimly light

I saw a child beckon me, he wouldn't meet my eyes

"I dare you to get close," he said

"I'll tell a secret if you stay a while," better yet

And I thought, "I should escape this madness instead"

Even the stage was sinking like lead

But I couldn't stand to leave

It's so easy to forget

To take it step by step, stay on my feet

Let 'em burn their effigy

If the ground is hollow underneath

I can't let it get to me

Keep the pace and steady my breath

Only the ravens sing for what's left

This is no one's fantasy

But when the gavel comes down, then I'd better know myself, I

Know we don't talk anymore

But I'm covered in this dirt

And I forget that there's no remedy

So I'm left to close my eyes and breathe

Is it okay if I need help?

Lost and lonely

Like everybody before me

I'm terrified by my own means

Damned if I don't find what's laying beyond reach

'Til I rest my head

Make me understand

I see it, but my memory is fading in disbelief

Changing right in front of me

Was everything

But was everything

Was everything

I said, "You're still right here

So why are you still cheating the moment?

You got your heart in the right place

But it could flee any moment, come on

Get your legs moving the right pace

Remember the spirit breaking in the palm of your hand

Won't sit and wait for you to do what you can

You've been wasting energy, the mirror's staring at me"

He said, "I'll drag you down, but you can't get nowhere without me"
