Deliberate Practice

Deliberate practice is still really hard Tell me you love me and catch me off guard Take my advice and I'll try to take yours In a moment of silence facedown on the floor Facedown on the floor I'm swallowing poison, hope my enemies die I'm making decisions I can't justify But I'm not alone in this big awful mess 'Cause I've got a friend and she loves me the best She loves me the best I'm counting my blessings by twos and by tens I'm seeing my life through a scratch on the lens But I'm leaning in close to the people who ache God's present in weakness and all my mistakes All my mistakes It's bitter in winter, the cross of our king The knowledge that darkness affects everything You're quick to be angry, it's your grandmother's gift All people on earth, from the cup we all sip A cup we all sip --- Deliberate Practice - A Place for Owls
