Mistakenly Brave

Music + lyrics by N. Hamer

I am sinking, barely breathing
Thorns they bore and tear my sleeves
But I'll drink poison without thinking
Labels warn of vacant feelings.

I am not your friend
Why would you want me to be?

I'm rocking the boat, I'm starting the wave, 
I'm kicking the shoreline, I'm mistakenly brave, 
I'm nothing but broke and bottles are broken, nothing to save, 
I'm a wandering whirlwind, I'm mistakenly brave

I will love 'till I am heard
My unobtrusive useless words
I'm filling voids, it sounds absurd
But time will heal me, they've assured. 

And I am not you're friend
Why would you want me to be?

I'm rocking the boat, I'm starting the wave
I'm kicking the shoreline, I'm mistakenly brave
I'm nothing but no one but no one and nothing will leave me unscathed
I'm a traveling testament, I'm mistakenly brave
