You can't live life this way
Your going to burn out one day
On the narrow path you must stay
Then everything will be okay

I crave the joy of the thrill
Always pushing up a steep hill
I can't walk away from the fight
Refuse to go quietly in the night

Your stubborness will **** you soon
Living life like some kind of goon
Fight if you must, but I will go
What will become of you I don't know

I cannot change who I am inside
No matter how much you will deride
Leave now friend and don't come back
Your presence here is an attack

Now you are gone and I'm alone
To sit upon my hollow throne
Now that I've it to the end
I have to say I miss you friend

We've become two different people
Both changed in way not equal
Nothing left to talk about
Your fight filled you with doubt

Don't walk away from friends who care
Friends who care are always rare
Now off into the distance stare
And ponder that forgotten tear

Treading water, arms on fire
The situation now seems dire
No land in any direction
No boat bringing swift salvation

Treading water, you start to sink
This is it, your at the brink
Struggle for everything you can get
Up until your maker you've met

Drowning now you can thrash no more
Arms and legs have become sore
Gasp for air but water fills
And in your lungs water kills

Darkness takes a hold of all
Deeper in the depths you fall
Quiet now it all will end
Away from here your soul you'll send

A light outside your eyes you see
Is someone out there saving me
Hands on my chest, lips on mine
My soul returns across the line

Eyes open now I'm on dry land
Upon my own two feet I stand
I've never felt so alive
Since I took my fateful dive

Adversity found a friend in me
The worst kind of enemy
Is always the one you can't hide from
The one in your head who in the night comes
You've got to find the light in you
Show yourself what you can do
Decide what you should do from there
Find out for what you really care

You try to make the most of it
Pull yourself back from the pit
No more shall you enter here
Steel yourself, guard from fear
Your much more than you used to be
Your better everyday, you'll see
It will all just be the past
Happiness for you shall last

Cry no more for old regret
Put aside all long distress
Sing with me a happy tune
Sit with me beneath the moon
You have found your redemption
The sweet taste of hard salvation
Sweeter still from the fight
With that old enemy of the night

Right then left, where to go
Honestly I just don't know
So much to see, so much to learn
In my heart for change I yearn
Tired of the same old games
Tired of the same old names

Right then left, just keep going
Loose yourself of all your towing
You will find new people to light your way
People who want to hear what you say
New places that fit like a glove
New places for you to fall in love

Right then left, take great care
To recognize when your there
Find someone to hold you tight
And lie with you through the night
Hungry for the second chapter
Hungry for what comes after
