Canyon of the Self

Intro

Ay ay ay

Ay ay ay

Verse 1

My mirror is a firing squad

Shooting down the boy I thought I built

He hates the way I smile

Weakened by the salt on every wound I carry

Pre-Chorus

Searching for the sun

Waiting for the sun

Begging for the sun

Chorus

Fighting my own blood in the canyon

Fighting my own blood in the dark

I say yes

But the devil in my chest says no

I say go

But the anchor in my toe says stay

Verse 2

Cigarettes burn through the prayer rug

Lonely as a canyon hawk

Wings are heavy

Stone is rolling down the slope I try to climb

Pre-Chorus

Searching for the sun

Waiting for the sun

Begging for the sun

Chorus

Fighting my own blood in the canyon

Fighting my own blood in the dark

I say yes

But the devil in my chest says no

I say go

But the anchor in my toe says stay

Bridge

Cut the string

Burn the map

Break the glass

Looking at a face I barely know anymore

Chorus

Fighting my own blood in the canyon

Fighting my own blood in the dark

I say yes

But the devil in my chest says no

I say go

But the anchor in my toe says stay
