pick your heart up off the ground
it's only part of the illusion
pick your heart up off the ground
there's gotta be something more than this
there's gotta be something more
Its all inside you
what did you expect
a heavy heart that cannot accept
driving a soul of discontent
my morality derived by sin
a manifestation of man
all the thoughts have gone away
follow the footseps in the dark
hoping to find the source
of this asphixiation
take a look around, there's nobody here to watch you fall.
holding back there is no escape
the fear inside you blackened by hate
abandoned cries suspended in time
gasping for air, choking on your cries
how does it feel to be a mother fucking disgrace
to the one who once kissed the ground you walked upon
now the very second that they see your face
they want nothing more than to piss upon your tracks and be gone.
denial is your only escape
thinking you're above the law, above them all
each step is harder than the last; cowering
unable to return
so how do you face the mistakes you've made
can words ever be enough
holding on to something more than just a name
these dreams are all but real
honesty is irrelevant,do what needs to be done
the fact of the matter is every light left shining at the end of the day
is a reflection
of everything you've faught for
take pride in what is real
the dreams you help create
so how do you face the mistakes you've made
can words ever be enough
holding on to something more than just a name
these dreams are all but real.
even in darkness the dimmest light shines bright as day
don't give up on hope even the blind may find their way
even in darkness the dimmest light shines bright as day
don't give up on hope [ don't ever give up on hope]
even in darkness the dimmest light
[ dont ever give up on hope, when you are lost come back home]
