Lyrics
When I'm feeling down,
I can't find the sound,
that takes me to my safe place.
So much empty space,
the lines on my face,
will begin to show my face.
What if I end up alone,
Without place to call my home,
With a heart that's made of stone?
Hiding from you
When I feel I can,
I'm the strongest man,
and the world opens ahead.
On this silver day,
find the path to take,
hope it will lead me somewhere.
What if I didn't believe?
That there I will find the peace,
of not killing who I am?
I'll close my eyes and say a prayer,
I'm sure my faith will take me there,
across the storm and through the rain...
Yes I refuse to be dying selfless, not me, dying selfless.
