Sadness on the edges,
Pulling at the ones you call your own,
All of my direction,
All of my sanity is gone.
Cradling redemption,
Give or take what's left of the morning,
Make the best of the mess,
The beauty in the madness will shine on.
If you are the only one getting out alive,
And if you are the only one that’s right,
Then consider yourself lucky,
Because most of us are more broken than alive.
Every time we hold,
We hold on to what we hold dearest in our lives,
Walking in the midst of a world,
That's busy killing dreams like flies.
Make peace within yourself,
Because peace on the outside is a ruse,
They give as much as they can’t take,
In fact they take more than they will ever give.
If you are the only one getting out alive,
And if you are the only one that’s right,
Then consider yourself lucky,
Because most of us are more broken than alive.
Because most of us are more broken than alive.
