Harder Ground

Drop

I never saved myself for easy days

I never saved myself for quiet ways

Verse 1

Built my bones on bad decisions

Chasing storms instead of rest

Every scar a small admission

That I failed my own best test

Cold wind finds me out here waking

Where the duduk hums and grieves

Something in me keeps on breaking

Something in me still believes

Pre-Chorus

I never saved myself for easy days

I never saved myself for simple ways

Let the low end drag me under

Let it pull me where it may

Chorus

I gave my years to harder ground

I gave my hands to rougher sound

No soft road ever held me down

No soft road ever held me down

Drop

I never saved myself for easy days

I never saved myself for quiet ways

Verse 2

I traded comfort for a bruise

I drank the bitter kept the sting

There is nothing left to lose

When you have burned through everything

Deep below the surface groaning

Something darker calls my name

All the years of lonely moaning

Turned to fuel inside the flame

Pre-Chorus

I never saved myself for easy days

I never saved myself for simple ways

Let the low end drag me under

Let it pull me where it may

Chorus

I gave my years to harder ground

I gave my hands to rougher sound

No soft road ever held me down

No soft road ever held me down

Bridge

Run me ragged

Run me thin

Run me through the grit and then

Let the heavy bass begin

Let the heavy bass begin

Chorus

I gave my years to harder ground

I gave my hands to rougher sound

No soft road ever held me down

No soft road ever held me down

Drop

I never saved myself for easy days

I never saved myself for quiet ways
