Lyrics and notesHeart-break and alcoholism
fighting for an ideal
these fights all end up killing me
these fights all feel so real
Plans foiled in the early morning
in attempts to wake them up
My hopes had fallen just days before
Good intentions are never enough
CHORUS:
Some days I feel like all I see around me is pain
It hurts so much to know that all this shit might never change
How many before me fought to make this a better place
just to struggle all their lives and die with the same old broken world
just falling apart right in their face?
Singing adventure sitting alone in my room
complaining about not being able to afford food
I quit my job so I could focus on the movement
but my laziness and frustration keep me too busy to do it.
CHORUS
Stories bring tears to my eyes, slide right down my cheek
Sadness comes as no surprise, my talk all comes out cheap
While my heart is breaking I'm ashamed of what else is on my mind
But it's also attached to my heart and it's ripping it apart from the other side.
Like this struggle, this pain will never stop
There will be ups that come along then they will drop
Just like these songs that I write down into this pad
my hope is based upon the fact that I've seen good in all the bad
CHORUS
