Sanity from Grow by Joel Janikowski

STORY:
His physical and metaphorical heart completely exhausted, his whole body collapses. As he sees blurry paramedics hovering over his motionless body, he has a great moment of discovery. Thinking that maybe the core of his struggle began three years ago, when he saw his mother die right before him. Thinking maybe that’s why he pushed away anyone tried to love him since that day. Maybe if he can forgive himself and let her go, both him and his mother can finally move on.

LYRICS:
Staring at the city lights,
Questions running through my mind.
Anger, is it really relevant in our lives?
I’d rather leave my heart behind.

Maybe it’s inside of me,
Maybe it’s the one I seek,
The one who died in front of me,
Three years past.

If I could forgive myself for pain and guilt,
Maybe mother’s soul can rest at last.

Your heart brings silence to her soul,
Some peace and quiet to us all.
