Tryna knock me down and lock me up

Inside all of these walls I built

Get it out my brain

Get it off my chest

Hey I’m reachin’ out a hand hopin’

Gotta feel the love gotta feel the pain,

Gotta find the light in the world on the darkest of days

Don’t wanna take this shit to my grave

Wanna shine this light and be brave
