lyrics

Each day, I'm wondering if things are gonna change or if they're going to stay
And each hour you walk around the streets of this deserted town, searching for dreams
But I don't see changes
And you don't find your dreams
And you always say that
That we'll just have to wait

We all desire to be happy but happiness isn't free
So just cut the rope of stagnation and break away the hurting and pain
But you don't feel a thing
That's the better feeling
You say you don't see the thick gray skies around
It's all sunrise and mellow to you

Time stops, your heart is beating faster and your whereabouts are still unknown
Did you remember it’s better to be safe than to be sorry and so alone
It's difficult to erase
The biggest of mistakes
But all the errors you make
Stem from morals you break

We could see through a new perspective of the world that surrounds us all
Or we could eliminate the problems and the sadness that hounds our souls
But you don’t see the plight
And you don’t see the strife
And you don't see the thick gray skies around
It's all sunrise and mellow to you
Don’t see it

Don’t you want to fix this?
Don’t you want to mend this?
Don’t you want to fix this?
Don’t you want it back?

We all desire to be happy but happiness isn't free
So just cut the rope of stagnation and break away the hurting and pain
But you don't feel a thing
That's the better feeling
You say you don't see the thick gray skies around
It's all sunrise and mellow to you
