Gloom

Something tells me I can't take it I've been here before Left outside, nowhere to hide Barred windows, locked doors And all the monsters are creeping out from where they dwell The corners of my mind They tell me that we're doomed, our thoughts, our tomb But stars need night to shine Something tells me I can't take it I've had my fair share of trouble I've seen some things, I'd rather forget Something tells me I can't take it I let it make me humble (take it, take it) Confident now that I'm friends with death Something tells me I can't take it I've been here before Left outside, nowhere to hide Barred windows, locked doors Know that I'll make a difference, down to my core Being told that I can't, makes me want it more When you can greet it all, without fear Even tragedy with its healing tears This world becomes precious and vibrant The swirling movement, colors clear So hold on When you feel that all your efforts are failing Just hold on It's hard to see all the progress you're making All the monsters are creeping out from where they dwell The corners of my mind But I'll just smile and wish them well Watch the gloom retreat in light (take it) Sometimes you've only begun To lick your wounds When the walls cave in The pain resumes Those scars will heal, love You've got a strength in you Maybe you've only begun To hum the tune Then a new song kicks in Dissonance consumes Learn to love the silence Yeah, you'll hear the truth I know the waters seem muddy But beauty will soon bloom And though the fires are burning Brand-new life will push through So hold on When you feel that all your efforts are failing Just hold on It's hard to see all the progress you're making All the monsters are creeping out from where they dwell The corners of my mind But I'll just smile and wish them well Watch the gloom retreat in light You could have just found a loved one Cold and dead on the floor It's like your world comes undone Would things be different if we had done more? Maybe there is something to outrun But it's all around you Maybe you're holding a gun If you end, things can't get better for you So hold on When you feel that all your efforts are failing Just hold on It's hard to see all the progress you're making All the monsters are creeping out from where they dwell The corners of my mind But I'll just smile and wish them well (just hold on) Watch the gloom retreat in light (Watch the gloom retreat in light) (Watch the gloom)
