lyrics

These hands would work if they could find it
Is there no room here no place inside?
To you I’m crazy or maybe just lazy but
How sane could you stay with no place to go?

There’s only dead ends in black and white
It hurts to breathe when the chest is tight
People won’t leave me but can’t stand to see me
No place for a body to rest in the night

Yes I’ve been trying to keep these eyes open but
They wanna take the rest I can’t find
To you an eyesore just given what I asked for but
What would you give if I asked for your help?

What glory could be pure when this life is never sure?

But I’ve seen people with knowing in their smiles
Who feel the weight the heartbreak but joyful all the while
Is there a hope in the glimmer of these faces?
That what they know I could know too?

So yes I’ll search alone as I may be
You’ve gotta seek if you wanna find
No I won’t give up even if I get stuck
I won’t live in a rut all my life
