The Promise
As The Structure Fails Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Find the light, find the light
In your darkest days
I promise you, you′ll see

I've never faced a stress like this before
I′ve turned to run, but there's no way home
I never thought I'd say what′s it like to feel okay
I′m sick of the negative state

Find the light, find the light
In your darkest days
I promise you, you'll see
Find the light, find the light
In your darkest days
I promise you, you′ll see

No matter what I found
The shadows always end
I need to break my tired mind (tired mind)
You're just like me
Being buried in between
Oh, I′m sick of the negative state

Find the light, find the light
In your darkest days
I promise you, you'll see
Find the light, find the light
In your darkest days
I promise you, you′ll see

When the walls are caving in
And the light's taken away
What I've become, it′ll never come undone
To come undone

When the storm tears life away
And the night brings disarray
Will I break free?
When the light rips through the dawn
Rips through the dawn

Let′s go





Oh, I promise you, you'll see
I promise you, you′ll see

Most definitely this band is great ever since I started listening to them when they first came out

@malathaat74

Totally disagree; nothing new; boring just chasing a lot of bands from last 25 years; potential but need to be brave and make own sound bc their sound was done I. 2006
