when the sun went down i came around
past every little bend that wore me out
out of breath but still safe and sound
weary eyed without a doubt
my lungs are black from past mistakes
emotions shot after many encounters
but still refusing to hit the brakes
silent still but my heart still stirs
when i was nine i seized the world
there was nothing else i would've done
at night i fell and into a ball i curled
just waiting for the coming sun
a few years down the road i met a girl
who made me shiver and melt with joy
the butterflies they came and twirled
until she got bored and left for another boy
the pain she left broke my every bone
so i slept away the pain for weeks on end
but fuck her i could do this all alone
find interesting things i could call my friends
leaving school early over the fence i go
in a dark empty room with faces i do not know
the drugs were amazing how did i never know
feeling so high how could i ever have been so low
i threw my life into the vast ocean
it made me smile the way it sank
zero emotion and this lack of devotion
the biggest smile but my mind so blank
now here i sit, looking back at my life
the times of depression and desperation
thoughts of suicide with my fingers on the knife
refusing any hands of alleviation
you see i was stuck at the bottom of the hill
unaware of the beauties that lie just ahead
blinded by false trust and many fake thrills
i let myself go and i bled and i bled
as i slowly saw the light that crept into my life
my skin had grown hard and my eyes now so bright
this determination is me, it cuts like a knife
kept getting back up and i had won this fight
the sun will keep rising beautiful and true
i will keep on walking and do the things i do
there is a smile on my heart that's never been more true
keeping my head high to the pretty skies so blue
