Sometimes it's tough to make it through the day It's hard enough when all your dreams Just seem so far away I step outside to face a shade of gray, oh
You've been down in the dumps It seems like forever Now, what have they done to you? Not a single thing's turned out the way you imagined It all looks
As the walls are closing in and the colors fade to black And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me And I follow the tracks that lead me down And I
When we wore a heart of stone we wandered to the sea Hoping to find some comfort there yearning to feel free And we were mesmerized by the lull of the
