Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Monday morning, I looked the mirror in the eyes
I think I'd kill myself if I ever went blind
Your life is slipping away
You found out you're older than you thought you were today
[Verse 2]
You've gotta stay optimistic
It gets harder by the second
We all know we're edging our way toward the end
[Verse 3]
Carving hearts and crosses in my head
[Verse 4]
There's people on the streets throwin' rocks at themselves
'Cause they ain't got no money and they're livin' in hell
But there's animals down the road adding fuel to this heat
It never did take much guts to be a sheep
[Verse 5]
There are no voices as the time approaches
I wanted to be a Bobby Dylan until I discovered Moses
Saturday night I was lying in my bed
The window was open and raindrops were bouncing off my head
When it hit me like a thunderbolt
I don't know nothing and I'm scared that I never will
[Verse 6]
You pray to your god that you'll never feel so much pain again
But the agony has just begun
Moving on, open new doors
Life just doesn't seem that simple anymore
And in case I don't see you again
I hope you'll feel glad that you knew me while I was here
