The Test Lyrics by Less Than Jake

Silver Linings (Deluxe)

2020

[Verse 1: Chris DeMakes]
Toss the anchor, ditch the oars
I know what's worth fighting for
Clip the wings, break the ties
That bind me to this cheap disguise

[Pre-Chorus: Chris DeMakes]
Day in, day out
Maybe we get stronger in the end

[Chorus: Chris DeMakes]
Dig way down deep inside
And swallow all your pride
'Cause you know how it's done
But, it takes a lot of work, a lot of drive
Tell me when you see a version of me
The person you want me to be

[Verse 2: Chris DeMakes]
Falling forward, crashing down
Facing backwards, turn around
Close the door on emptiness
And skip the scene of discontent

[Pre-Chorus: Chris DeMakes and Roger Lima]
Day in, day out
Maybe we get stronger in thе end

[Chorus: Chris DeMakes]
Dig way down deep inside
And swallow all your pride
'Causе you know how it's done
But, it takes a lot of work, a lot of drive
Tell me when you see a version of me
That you want me to be

[Bridge: Chris DeMakes]
It's better that you have a plan (ah)
When you're worse off than you understand (Ah-ah)

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus: Chris DeMakes and Roger Lima]
Day in, day out
How do we get stronger in the end?

[Chorus: Chris DeMakes]
Dig way down deep inside
And swallow all your pride
'Cause you know how it's done
But, it takes a lot of work, a lot of drive
Tell me when you see a version of me
The person you want me to be

[Outro: Chris DeMakes]
Dig way down deep inside
And swallow all your pride
'Cause you know how it's done
It takes a lot of work, a lot of drive
Tell me when you see a version of me
You want me to be
