After the drugs come out
After the booze dries up
After the smoke clears
The feelings come up
The emotions come in
All that’s been buried
All that’s been hidden
All that’s been ignored, buried and drowned
Comes up to the surface
The pain must be faced
The feelings must be felt
They can’t hurt you
It’s ok
It’s ok to feel abandoned
Insecure and alone
We must feel those feelings
In order to grow
Just let them come up
Rise to the surface and release
We can only ignore them so long
Before we finally seek peace
