If I May

good god, what have we done with our time?

it slipped away, and there’s no way to get it back

oh my, the cracks are getting bigger as time goes by

and it goes faster every year

some will say

that home is where the heart is

but if i may

i’ll say home is where the pain lives

every time i come home

i feel an overwhelming sense of despair

these four walls have kept me for far too long

and there’s no breaking out

there’s no breaking out of this

there’s no breaking out

it’s time to break free from all the things that we don’t need

(the last call, the last time to raise your glass)

this home is only a house in which you reside

(the last call, the last time you will see)

my back fading in the distance

some will say

if you love it let it go

but if i may

i say persistence is the way

every time that i gave up

was my thoughts admitting my body to failure

but my body wanted to keep moving

i’ve got thoughts like chains

they wrap me like i’m dying

i am not afraid of what they say

i’m caught in this rain

droplets collide like crashing cars

i am not afraid, no not today

good god, what have we done with our time?

it slipped away, and there’s no way to get it back

oh my, the cracks are getting bigger as time goes by

these four walls have kept me company for far too long

it’s time to break out and see the world with brand new eyes
