lyrics

Do you lie awake in bed at night?
Do you wonder where I am?
Do you hope that I've turned out all right?
Do you wonder if your boy has become a man?

Are you guilty?
Are you glad?
Are you alive?
I'm hoping that you're coping with living a lie.

Let me paint a picture, it'll make things clearer.

I want to keep a steady head and suppress it cause,
That's what works best.
I want to wash my hands off this mess, and try to forget that there's
an anchor, that is dragging me down to the depths.
I clutch at straws like a drowning man, I want to live again.

I could dig until I couldn't dig any deeper.
Cause a life spent searching is a life well spent,
That's what I think.

I built this on my own,
With my blood, sweat, flesh and bones.
You left me here for dead.
But i can keep my head above the water.

Sleep sound,
I've found my way (back home)
You're wrong,
I'll be something more than you.

I look up to you for the choice you made,
I look up to you for giving me away.
