lyrics

Let's paint a picture of the life that I'm living now
Look at the sky all that I can see is dark clouds
I have this heart of stone that's grinding into sand
I will be broken until I reach the promised land

My reputation is at stake and I can't believe
The person I've become, you see this is killing me
My emptiness is just a lie that I must resist
But this pain just keeps on grabbing me by the wrist

Please tell me I'm ok
And it doesn't to have to end this way
Please help me through this

I always deal with second best
I cannot take no more regret
Or waiting for my last breath
I cannot face another day where
All my dreams have washed away
It's leaving me with nothing more to say

I'm wide awake but this all feels like a dream
My own worst nightmare and no one can hear me scream
Tried to take the high road but it led me right back
I need some answers, need to get my life on track
