Bogged down by the morning light
My only goal was to make it through the night
Death didn’t welcome me with open arms
I simply wasn’t ready to embrace its charm
But I’ve been feeding into my woes
And now the mirror has become my foe
You fade in and fade out
No going back now
There comes a time in this struggle
Where you begin to crumble
You fade in, you fade out
We realize we’re no closer to love than death
Nor any further so hold your breath
And quit tearing at your wounds
Searching for some form of closure
We’re not getting any closer
I’ve been told that this is just a passing phase
Just a passing phase
But now I’ve got to find a way
To fill my vacant days
I’ve become the martyr of my own deceit
Dancing arm in arm with a devouring disease
Indulging from dusk till dawn
Finding release in a chemical bond
You fade in, you fade out
No going back now
There comes a time in this struggle
Where you begin to crumble
You fade in, you fade out
We realize we’re no closer to love than death
Nor any further so hold your breath
And quit tearing at your wounds
Searching for some form of closure
We’re not getting any closer
Giving in to tunnel vision
Will make you miss any opportunity
You know, any minute you can find just what you seek
Pick yourself up from the ground below
And ride on high with epiphany
Pick yourself up
Pick yourself up
From the ground below
Don’t lose hold
Pick yourself up
Pick yourself up
Take control
Don’t lose hope
Take control
Don’t lose hope
Take control
We realize we’re no closer to love than death
Nor any further so hold your breath
And quit tearing at your wounds
Searching for some form of closure
We’re not getting any closer
To taking in the moment
From the cold of expectations
We’re letting out the past
To peel away dark clouds
From the horizon
Have faith in yourself and heal
