lyrics

Sometimes the darkest days shed the most light,
It'll teach you how to fend and it'll teach you how to fight.
You wanna say sorry when you come to grips with yourself
But it's better to turn and walk away, shut your mouth
and let yourself be yourself.
The harder times will slowly fade with the sunlight of the day
so you close your eyes to see if this is what you really craved.
You'll kill what's left about you, but first you have to catch it.
Realization has a purpose, a motive and a checklist.
Somewhere between these pages and lines
Ill see what I've been lookin for.
An aswer only I can find, and answer only ive defined by the blood in my hands
and the tears in my eyes. Ill admit defeat you've taken my heart
and now you've taken my pride.
You stole it in the middle of the night, my mind comes next.
It's happened before but I'm addicted so I let it slide.
Am I an addict or is it that I panicked and said the first thing that came to my mind.
Subside but didn't die.

Hold on to me we're crashing down.
A fist full of hope won't catch us falling (down)

You start thinking to yourself am I alive or does it matter
as you wash out all the fabric of the clothes your mind is wearing.
Written on a sidenote is the question that I'm scared of
Are we the giants that we fear, or is the life that we're given to scale.
Too many hands with guns and fingers on triggers
Our barrels are pointed at our personal figures
Umbrellas are blossomed in sun not in rain
yet I'm scared to get hurt from the burn and the rays.
So flood my thoughts with dreams
Buried in water to deep to see
Oh no it's coming to my knees but I just close my eyes and breathe.
