lyrics

I never told you a lie I did not believe myself,
I don’t know if that’s worse or better.
I worry I’ve gone numb to the storm that’s raging on
It’s always raining, but I don’t get wetter.

No-one knows how I’m feeling, only how I felt back then
‘Cause I just play the ones you know.
Always seeking meaning will only leave you feeling lost,
Put down roots and find some room to grow.

I want to slip into the shadows,
Hope you forget I ever was.
My focus has narrowed,
The world is for her now, not for us.

There’s no getting around the darkness overhead;
The only way out is through.
The walls are closing, and the water's rising up but keep on trying is all that you can do.

The future’s only daydreams, and the days are getting dark,
But we can work to make them come true.
We may not succeed, and our choices maybe stark,
But where we try to go is up to you.

I’ve always been adrift on this lake of sorrow
But now I’m looking up at the sun.
I would give up all of my tomorrows
To give her a better one.
