The Problem With Being Comfortable

I have lived

A comfortable life.

I have taken a path

Of safety.

I have been comfortable

With unfinished business.

I have turned a blind eye

To other people's pain.

But I've been uneasy

With doing that which is easy.

And I find,

The problem with being

Comfortable

Is it leads to feeling...

Numb.

ChoicesPathsUnfinished Business

Here Until Then

You put me in this place
and took away my means of getting out.
You put me in this place yeah
and took away my skill at getting out.

Well you may make me crawl, now
but I'll crawl out stronger when 
I crawl out.

 

(Chorus)
    This is where I am, yeah
    But I won't be here forever, no
    And I'll know this place better when I go.
    Yeah you brought me low
    But I'll climb...
