lyrics

I have just been running
Too scared to face my fears
Hanging on to this small town
And the ones I love so dear
But now everybody's gone
And I've been here for too long
It's time to say so long
It's time to get a move on
The night's always darkest before dawn

My insecurities always got the best of me
But I managed to survive thanks to my friends and family
I never fit the mold
I always did what I was told
And I was never left in the cold
But I was never one bit courageous
Courageous or bold

Now all I can see
Are cliches crashing down on me
I tried hard to defy these slogans of reality
But it seems to me that humanity is best known for giving in
Giving into all our sins
We're so misguided and dim
How am I different from them?
I'm no different from them

We have to be the best
Have the best
Go out of our way
No pain no gain
We're all insane
We're content with watching others decay
We're hypocritical
We're superficial
And we love to get our own way
This is the fucking game that we play

Have I abandoned god or has he abandoned me?
Why do I put my faith in people if they're destined to fuck me over?
Everything happens for a reason or so they say
I can't continue life with all this uncertainty

One speck of optimism is enough to get me by
So I'll chant and cheer
And point my finger to the sky
For tonight you see you didn't
Get the best of me
I'll go out and pursue my dreams
And I'll make it
I hope I make it some day
Where there's a will there's a way
