Lyrics
Sometimes it's hard to see your prison walls
When they're so dark no light reflects at all
Sometimes it's hard to see the light of day
When someone's casting dark clouds in the way
Sometimes it brings you down
Just having me around
But I try
The grass may be greener over here
Maybe it's the fake green veneer
We painted on it 10 weeks ago today
But it's cracked and peeling as it fades away
Seems like chasing ghosts is the
Cliche I like the most
But I try
Call me dense, call me dumb
I think I'm getting numb
But I'll try try try again
