lyrics

In the space between
ridicule and righteousness
sanity and salvation
from ever looking back

Back to basics
don't forget how to breathe
know this pain is temporary
sweating through the bedsheets
for seven days a week
doesn't make you weak
please believe that in time you will see
the beauty of the fleeting
in everyone you meet
and please remind me when I cannot see
the beauty of the fleeting
in everyone I meet

Scars will heal and bruises fade
take that needle from your veins
screaming now like I never screamed before
staring at the sunrise
knocking on your door

I woke up on a brightly lit stage
with only these words to say
I'm sorry for who I was
when I couldn't be
honest to myself or anybody else
about me
now I've changed and I know its hard
but it's not all make believe
please don't be afraid
to fall in love and dream of eternity

All those tears you couldn't hide
let me wipe them from your eyes
isolation, apathy
the world has too much of these
so I'm screaming now like I've never screamed before
staring at the sunrise
knocking at your door

Now I'll never leave your side
