Sadness set in around sunset Uninvited, yes But it's all in how you handle it I've seen better days, but I'm trying to mend The candle can only burn at both ends for so long Dead weight is pulling me under Sink or swim I dig the grave I've been living in When I lived through hell, I found there's far worse things than death What if I'm waiting for a peace that I can't have? What if they're right and I pushed that grace out of grasp? The silence is deafening The misery is setting in I fear that I'm just making waves To keep from drowning in unhappiness The silence is deafening The misery is setting in I feel myself sinking again Suffer to survive The grass was never green on either side I think of nothing but I And focus only on the shadows when the sun shines Growing up I found out nothing was good enough I'll fight my way to the surface or bust Under the weight of hopelessness, feeling crushed Can't give in to giving up This world showed me no love I bit the bullet and toughened up They'll give you nothing, their words are vacant This life is what you make it
