lyrics

We felt the force of all the setbacks coming one after the next
Each crushing blow seeming more unfair and not making any sense
Even a floor made of barbed wire could be considered solid ground
-
I saw a black cat on the way home last night
I didn't look the other way
-
It seemed like fate was lining up against me
The bookies stacked the odds
But how could I blame them, I'm in bad shape when I alter my state to escape being awake
I shouldn't fool myself

How do I respond to bad luck? Apparently I fail
And how do I deal with tough shit? I go ahead and slip into a bigger pile of it
How many more chances will I get? Just enough to get my hopes up
When I'm down to my final breath, maybe I'll catch my break

No matter how pathetic I look and feel, my heart stays fixed on this ideal
Divorced from practicality and juggling my sanity
I'll persist until I've got nothing to give
I may even have to die before my dream can live
And on my deathbed you'll hear my final words and the loudest flatline you have ever heard

The mumbles and whispers become loud and clear, as days turn to months and months turn into years
I've come to realize that this solid ground is the feeling I get when I have you around
