Honesty

Honesty can hit real hard
Honesty can feel like heaven
But the fear before it’s done
Ain’t exactly pleasant

It can stab you in the back
Like a whisper made of steel
Like a gut-punch from a friend
Who tells you what is real

It might hold you like a hug
Make your shoulders drop their weight
Like a fire when it’s freezing
It warms up the air

It can break us

But it shapes us
Truth is how we heal

Honesty can hit real hard
Honesty can feel like heaven

No matter how you try

There ain’t no way to escape it

It can open up a storm
All these different questions
Who and why and what and when
Lots of wild suggestions

It might paint your world a mess
In a palette of extremes
Purple bleeding into grey
Rust in decay

You might want to walk away
Say “tomorrow” with a grin
Stick your head down in the sand
And dig yourself in

It can break us

But it shapes us
Truth is how we heal

Honesty can hit real hard
Honesty can feel like heaven
Even when it gets real messy
It’s still the best direction

Cause, honesty can feel so good
Mmm-hmm
