about

A foot tapping song with a positive message about picking yourself up from a position of personal disaster and having the strength to pull your own life together. When you hit the bottom you either bounce or you break..

lyrics

Verse 1
Failure is always an option in the morbid dark of my mood/You silhouette looms then moves for a moment/Before walking in to the sunshine for good/The world is fucked and doesn’t make any sense and I’m a thousand miles deep behind a barb wire fence/A box within a box to keep my fragile ego in place/And I just can’t take another fucking hit/I’ve spent so long wallowing in this pit/I couldn’t see the light of joy if it smacked me right in the face
Pre Chorus
Keep climbing/Because the sky stretches on forever and ever/Keep smiling/Don’t let the bastards know that you know better
Chorus
Just give me something for the pain/A little kick to get me moving/Oh I can take another day/If I know exactly what I’m proving/I don’t expect you all to stay/Until I drag you down to where I’m losing/Just give me something for the pain/And close the door/Turn out the lights
Verse 2
Welcome to an old friend of mine, people see what they want to see/Never show that you’re bleeding loneliness/It’s the wound that will never heal/Slap on a grin but try as I might, there’s always yet another tunnel at the end of my light/I find the strength to try again from somewhere deep in my soul/But when finally get back up on your feet, there are only two types of the people you meet/Those who pull up the ladder and those who will fill in the hole
Verse 3
Loving where you are is earned and every second you’re alive is another lesson learned/If we all love each other we can break away from any hold/Tomorrow always is another day, and purpose is the brush that adds the colour to the grey/Learn to spot your allies, they are worth their weight in gold
