[Verse 01]
You take one glimpse and scrutinise
But you can't see me through these eyes
Know I didn't choose this life
But know that I can choose to die
And I'm getting ready to call it quits
I'm beginning to think I'm at the end of my wits
I swear it's getting hard to breathe
I swear that God's just mocking me
It's a miracle I've managed to survive for this long
Off the strength of my music so I take pride in my songs
My heart is strong but my soul is weak
And I don't give a damn if you notice me

For his assistance to help me find my way
Light this trail and help clear my mind
Cause I fear the tides are near tonight
And I feel my life is at the crossroads
Standing on the edge, am I gonna grow old?
Looking down below as I take a step
Praying I can grow some wings and...
[Hook]
Fly away to a brighter day
Make it past the midnight rain
The downfall of what life remains
May I see the sun shine again and
Fly away to a brighter day
Make it past the midnight rain
The downfall of what life remains...
