This is the storm that strands me here

Still make pretend that iæ?¦ in the movie of my life

Stopped looking for a key that opens all the doors
Abandoning the search for a universal solution or answer that opens all doors.
These broken fingers keep me from holding on too tight
Physical limitations hinder the speaker from holding onto things too tightly.
I turned and looked away from the angels face
Turning away from a celestial figure or a higher power.
Still stomp through puddles ?the world spins beneath my feet
Confidently navigating through challenges, suggesting resilience despite the world's chaos.
Stopped waiting for a golden ship to rescue me

Each new day will bring

(it says) "live the life that you love ?love the life that you live"
