lyrics

there’s a life up ahead,
even though I’m filled with doubt now,
it will work out in the end.

there is hope in my hands,
like water that trickles through my fingertips,
and gets buried in the sand.

so I dig myself out of this hole,
and I build a castle out of nothing at all.
it’s so hard not to know what’s coming next,
and it’s so hard to live in the present tense.

in a month, I’ll be gone,
like the wax at the bottom of a candle,
burn the wick until it’s done.

there’s too much in my mind,
I thought adversity was supposed to bleed out the weakness.

I look inside the mirror,
and I hope I’ll see my reflection a little clearer.
and I dig myself out of this hole,
and I build back up my sense of control.
it’s so hard not to know what’s coming next,
and it’s so hard to live in the present tense.

and I look inside the mirror,
and I hope I’ll see my reflection a little clearer.
and I dig myself out of this hole,
I build back up - I know I'll rise after I fall.
but it’s so hard not to know what’s coming next,
and it’s so hard to live,
yes, it’s so hard to live,
it’s so hard to live in the present tense.
