lyrics

Sometimes i wake up feeling like such a waste of time,
when everyone is on my back and everything is on my mind,
its all weighing me down as i start to erode,
crushing every ounce of energy left inside this weathered soul,

Sometimes i know that these city lights,
block out the stars all through the night,
Sometimes the only way to see,
is to take your spot in the darkest seat.

Just when i thought that i was at my end,
you all came to me hear and picked me up,
and helped me transcend.
so now i know what its like to have this feeling,
friends by my side,
a bond made by fate, this feeling you cant describe,

So here we are, so far away from home,
we pulled ourselves out of the blackest of holes,
so here we are, standing right back at home,
with the best of friends, its like we never left town.

And i know there were those who werent as lucky as i,
this is for those who did not survive,
i hope now that you have found your peace,
and you can bath in the light that you couldnt see.

Sometimes i know that these city lights,
block out the stars all through the night,
Sometimes the only way to see,
is to take your spot in the darkest seat.

Dont give up, dont stand down,
there is still so much left,
so why end this now,

Sometimes i know that these city lights,
block out the stars all through the night,
but no matter how dark that it may seem,
these stars will still shine with the brightest gleam.

Dont give up, dont stand down,
there is still so much left,
so why end this now,
