lyrics

LET GO OF THE PAIN
Daniel Cummings / Danny Myrick

Elbow deep in gears thought I had the years all figured out
2008 my whole world changed when the banks and the shop shut down
So I made the only choice I had to try to get out of debt
Next thing I know a Mississippi kid had a gun to his head

And I’m digging my way out of this hole I’m living in
Looking for a ray of light to help me start all over again

Here I am hiding in the corner making friends with the shadows
Trying to be a man while holding on to the secret, hell nobody else knows
Just a little boy looking at the dark sky getting baptized by the rain
Can somebody show me cause I don’t know
How to let go of the pain

Little brother was my best friend even when we were all grown up
Skater punk long hair tattoos you don’t like it hell it don’t matter much
He was one tough son of a bitch but he had an itch only pills could scratch
When they took him away, he had to find a way
Still can’t believe he went out like that

And I’m digging my way out of this hole I’m living in
Looking for a ray of light to help me start all over again

Here I am hiding in the corner making friends with the shadows
Trying to be a man while holding on to the secret, hell nobody else knows
Just a little boy looking at the dark sky getting baptized by the rain
Can somebody show me cause I don’t know
How to let go of the pain

Mom was my source of strength
My true north shooting star
Til cancer came for her, left me in the dark with one more scar

Now I’m digging my way out of this hole I’m living in
Looking for a ray of light to help me start all over again

Here I am hiding in the corner making friends with the shadows
Trying to be a man while holding on to the secret, hell nobody else knows
Just a little boy looking at the dark sky getting baptized by the rain
Can somebody show me cause I don’t know
How to let go of the pain

Yeah I’m here to grow
Learning how to let go of the pain
