Addict, alcoholic, call it as you see it or call it how you want it, I have an old soul so I embrace it,
but don't flaunt it, cause I'm sure it's forever haunted
Exaggerations about time and changing of generations,
history will repeat itself,
but we all have our own destinations
If you remain on your own, I wish you luck while you look for a place to call home,
but please never hesitate to pick up the phone
Seems like were always in a search to put someone on a perch, a pedestal, when it doesn't happen
who feels like a fool? We both do...
It's all about that give and take, you'll only get out what you put in,
and if nobody makes any effort then what exactly is at stake? Nothin, for christ sake!,
but everybody must learn from their own mistakes.
This world is dark even in daylight
It gets even darker when night strikes
You'll have to win your own fights and
Adapt to more darkness when they cut the lights
Missiles flying, soldiers dying and family's are crying
Countries with guns in the air and countries using bombs cause they have no guns to bare,
all this will lead to is chemical warfare
Some people look for love, some people look for drugs,
some people give up all together and sweep life under a rug.
I don't mean to be smug, but have you been livin' under a rock? This is the only life you got,
there are no do overs, you only get this one shot!
Take what you want out of this life don't be a coward,
the clock never stops ticking we get closer to death every hour
If you didn't.. now you know, this knowledge is power
This world is dark even in daylight
It gets even darker when night strikes
You'll have to win your own fights and
Adapt to more darkness when they cut the lights
If you ask me why I no longer believe in surprises
I'll say that I just got tired of rapidly blinking my eyelids
Life leaves scars and life is hard, but hey that's life
Your gonna have to fight to beat struggle and strife
Cause
This world is dark even in daylight
It gets even darker when night strikes
You'll have to win your own fights and
Adapt to more darkness when they cut the lights
