In spite of my cheerful demeanor Im afraid to set foot in the world We watch the same dead clocks These small hands need to meet the larger again And I chose a road, the one I didnt know Now it has brought me here The stories Ive have gathered in travels I wouldnt trade for the years back Theres a war inside I need something to get me through this Without you, am I ever myself? The only thing holding us back is us ? And ghosts from the last time Are all the same We can live again [x3] All we can do is try and try and try and try to change For ourselves The night has been my covering And the day is my disguise But I cant seem to stay far enough away From self created lies For those of you who question your purpose Look inside the eyes staring back at you Past your devil They long for purpose too And maybe thats yours, I know cause its mine You are the secondhand air that I breathe And these songs were made for you to sing before me And they are more than just sound And you are more than just an audience This is the family that Ive found The night has been my covering And the day is my disguise But I cant seem to stay far enough away From self created lies I chose a road, and now I know Nothing will ever come easy I chose this road Staying asleep is worse than falling awake I chose this road Standing asleep is worse than falling awake
