lyrics

Sleep in the shade
I can't rest any other way

Well why believe? Will it get better?

Do the nights actually get better?
When will we sleep?
Well why believe that the nights actually get better?

This world we live in is made for the unaware
Every now and then it takes a piece out of you
Bottom of the bottle, wasting time explaining why
To myself yet I'm unprepared for the next fall

It's a shame a tragedy had to happen
But it truly shows
That even the worst enemies can become allied again

If I could just be half the man you are
I think I've done alright
If I could just be half the man you are

You are my guide my presence of mind who sets me free

Shortness of breath
What a beautiful relief

Sleep in the shade
I can't rest any other way

Well why believe that the nights actually get better
When will we sleep?
When will we get our much needed rest?

Maybe it's about time for the day
To look forward to the next great red sun rise
Once again, I'm drenched in sweat
And we can't go on in misery
We can't go on unknowing
We can't go on not fighting

Maybe it's time for the day
To look forward to the sun rising
Once again, I'm drenched in sweat
We can't go on in misery
We can't go on not fighting
