Bravery

I'm saving up my bravery
For that day I need it most
I've got my pills
For down my throat
Just as that my life may go

But I'm saving up my bravery
I know I'm not alright
I've got the gun
My soul to send
Just as that my life may end

But I'm saving up my bravery
I know I'll need it soon
Solutions linger
Lest I give in
My bravery will have to win

I'm saving up my bravery
The day the triggers near
I'll drop the gun
I've saved for years
Bravery, overcome my fears.
I'll live on.
