Well, all I hear is, "Patience" All I have are missed bank payments I can't keep my head above the nonsense This ain't gonna make me famous But I can't eat off this paycheck My dreams are quick-drying cement Slipping through the tips of my fingers I feel my pockets cannonball into the black when I hear you say It won't be this bleak forever (Yeah right) It won't be this bleak forever (And I hope you're right) It won't be this bleak forever (Have you seen me lately?) It won't be this bleak forever (Yeah right) It's like I'm falling deeper and deeper Thinking, "Someday, I just need a miracle" Need about 30 goddamn miracles Well you say, "Be your own god" You say, "You're sane, so get yourself right So we can start again" I'm so preoccupied with my own life I can't see the world is burning down 'Til we're living under water It won't be this bleak forever (Yeah right) It won't be this bleak forever (And I hope you're right) It won't be this bleak forever (Have you seen me lately?)

It won't be this bleak forever (Yeah right) It can't be this bleak forever It can't be this bleak forever It can't be this bleak forever Have you seen me lately? It can't be this bleak forever
