The seasons die out one by one, their lives fade to gray
Their cries of death become the wind and then blow away
A man much too sober to enjoy the city's view
He wastes away so pointlessly, looking at the moon
This life that's slowed down to a stop, a stick in the mud
With rain that's tainted with a taste of pure alcohol
With apathy these eyes, they glow in the city lights
I know I haven't done a thing but I still feel guilty
It's as though I'm alone, just living life as a bare shadow
And by now I can't be sure if I'm me anymore
If I sing out to the rain, will the sun come out again?
I'm nothing but a dried up life in this busy summer full of light
Dear my most hated past, I'm ready at last to leave you behind
Even if these steps I make lead to the last breath I'll take
A path paved with nightmares and horrible days
The trail I've left behind me
Someday these flowers will bloom and they'll float down to you, wiping this life anew
Even through my suffering, even through my endless grief
With no sunlight breaking through the clouds above
The song in my heart plays on
These days they die out one by one as time slips away
And though we try, we realize it's always the same
The flame that fuels our fragile lives, no it won't always shine as bright
Someday the fire, it will expire and leave meaning behind
Even if you're unsure and hate yourself for not doing more
Wondering if you're still you after all that you've gone through
If you sing out to the rain, the sun may come out again
Your life is just a rotten dream so things aren't as bad as they seem
Dear my most hated past, I'm ready at last to leave you behind
Even if these steps that I make lead to the last breath I'll take
A path paved with nightmares and horrible days
The trail I've left behind me
Someday these flowers will bloom and they'll float down to you, wiping this life anew
Even through my suffering, even through my endless grief
With no sunlight breaking through the clouds above
The song in my heart plays on
Tired eyes and heavy feet dragged along the hot concrete
I'm frowning at the sun's red rays, glaring through the sunset's haze
I'm not sure if I should go, should I return to what I know?
Then I find I'm turning back to face my pain-filled awful past
That's right, I know that I've got t o fight
I must try my best to live even if there's no purpose
After all, we've been spared, saved and picked from despair
We'll leave these fractured memories scattered far behind
Dear my broken down past, I'm feeling now at last the nostalgia you've left
Just like those god-awful days and nightmares that never fade
As close to me as I thought they would always stay
I realize they're behind me
Someday these flowers will bloom and they'll float down to you, wiping this life anew
Even through my suffering, even through my endless grief
With no sunlight breaking through the clouds above
The song in my heart plays on
The seasons bloom now one by one as they come to life.
