lyrics

If you've been stuck in this place before
Know that you can find your way out
Everybody has the strength to climb out of the holes we've dug
Don't run, face it
Be the change you want to see
Sorrow will be conquered

Looking through the overcast was never gonna make it pass
I had always felt these times were longer that they'd seemed
A troubled mind struck on rewind felt comfort when it couldn't shine
Memories embedded in the paths you never chose

Weather changes
And I feel the same
Reaching for substance
Still things never change

They never change

This plight captures the essence of sorrow
That’s stained on the outside of me
I'm not one to force it or follow
This silence will build as I bleed

Grass will grow but when it snows, vegetation dies
I can feel it every time the wind begins to blow
My thoughts will freeze in emptiness resulting in a painful bliss
Stepping on the cracks has never done me any good

This plight captures the essence of sorrow
That’s stained on the outside of me
I'm not one to force it or follow
This silence will build as
This fight echoes the essence of sorrow
That drenched all I stand to see
I'm watching the walls as they cave in
This silence will build as I bleed
