Sunrise
Void Of Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I feel like you forgot me
Trying to keep me close, has proved too fucking hard
I'll try take back all the pain that I've dealt,
Why would I ever mean to cause you harm
Why do I feel the need to prove myself
When everything I do just proves me wrong
It's getting harder to grasp how to face facts from my past
I'm coming to terms, with watching my world burn
I'm wasted, wasting away,
I'm learning to love
The things that I said that I used to love to hate
Sleeping on the floor doing drugs that I can't afford
Just to watch the sunrise
And when I crawl back home
Would you stay awake for me
And when I crawl back home
I know you'll be there
To tell me that I'm still alive
With your hand placed in mine
I can feel the shame rushing though your veins
Stemmed to the pain pledged in your arteries
Your blank stare
Sheds a tear out of of your worn eyes
Your lips are pale, from the cigarettes they're all cracked and dry
But please know, that with a little faith
I'll return once again
To see that smile on your face

I'm fading
I'm losing strength and energy
And I feel like you forgot me
I think you have completely forgotten me
Trying to keep me close, has proved too fucking hard
You tried to hold on to me, but it became too difficult
I'll try take back all the pain that I've dealt,
I'll attempt to correct all the harm I've caused
Why would I ever mean to cause you harm
I never intended to hurt you
Why do I feel the need to prove myself
Why do I have the urge to demonstrate my worth
When everything I do just proves me wrong
Despite my efforts, I keep making errors
It's getting harder to grasp how to face facts from my past
It's becoming more challenging to confront the realities of my past
Coz I'm the living fucking proof that all nice guys finish last
I am proof that good-natured people often end up as the losers
I'm coming to terms, with watching my world burn
I am accepting the fact that my life is falling apart
I'm wasted, wasting away,
I am extremely drunk and deteriorating
I'm learning to love
I am beginning to appreciate
The things that I said that I used to love to hate
I'm now embracing the things I previously despised
Sleeping on the floor doing drugs that I can't afford
I am sleeping on the ground while consuming drugs that I can't afford
Just to watch the sunrise
Simply to witness the beauty of the sunrise
And when I crawl back home
When I go back to my place
Would you stay awake for me
Could you stay up for me
And when I crawl back home
When I return to where I belong
I know you'll be there
I have faith that you will be present
To tell me that I'm still alive
To remind me that I'm still breathing
With your hand placed in mine
With our hands intertwined
I can feel the shame rushing though your veins
I sense the embarrassment coursing through your bloodstream
Stemmed to the pain pledged in your arteries
Associated with the agony promised in your veins
Your blank stare
Your vacant gaze
Sheds a tear out of of your worn eyes
A tear rolls down your tired eyes
Your lips are pale, from the cigarettes they're all cracked and dry
Your lips are lifeless, the cigarettes have damaged them
But please know, that with a little faith
But please remember, with some hope
I'll return once again
I'll come back again
To see that smile on your face
To witness that grin on your countenance
