At 3 AM, passion strikes
All the things you wanted to do
All the things you've failed to do
Everything all at once

It's all gone now,
Haunted mamories
Yet it's very much alive
Beating, pounding; still hurting

We're going through it again
Just like we did yesterday
Let go of what you can't control
And give your all for what you can

Cry for what you've lost
Fight for what's still there
Surrender to the pain
But hold on to what you've gain

Giving up, it is a gift
Of freedom,
Of starting again
Releasing to make space

Giving up is starting again
To not give up of what's left:
Under those failures and pain,
Your dream and calling remains

Come now,
Lay it down
And start anew
'Tis the day of endings and beginnings
Get out of your prison. It's time to be freed and start again.

I can tell you you're just a soldier
i can take that weight off your shoulders
but you can't turn around and run away
no boat waiting for you at the bay
Money can pay you a sweet lover
it can't buy a family to wait for you at the door
that's when you start trying to read the stars
it'll make you feel better if you believe you're from Mars

But there's always some tips
hold on to your life like it was a crystal
lick this popsicle like it was a pistol

You can stay and we can start a riot
through the night killing young lions
it will fill you up with the only thing you can't give

Your beliefs look like a cheap satire
and you're choking on your dark desires
remember that you don't belong to anyone
you're the poor soul that won
Cuz money can pay you a sweet
but not someone to stop you from bleeding out
that's when you start trying to read the stars
or just set fire to your car

But there's always some tips
hold on to your life like it was a crystal
lick this popsicle like it was a pistol

You can stay and we can start a riot
through the night killing young lions
it will fill you up with the only thing you can't give

Sometimes you get used to your injuries
you swallow your happy mamories
wearing a snake as a necklace
they never let you be more reckless
