lyrics

Lyrics:
Yeah, 24 hours in a day
Not enough time to grow or change
7 days make up a week
not enough time to gain strength, stay weak
365 in a year
not enough time to get courage to drown fear
started from the bottom now we here
the future is a fear and the bottoms still near
yeah

when it all starts to fall through the cracks
I start to wonder where my hope went, everything is bad
at what point do we become scumbags
middle finger up in the air like forget that
remember as a kid all the dreams that you had
and you gave up on all that just to get in a girls pants
she used to sell lemonade at a stand
now she gives herself for free and you feel like the man
It's like a everyone's got on a mask
and the eye's dont answer the questions we're afraid to ask
like how did it all happen, ..don't answer
pull away like honesty is a cancer
hide it all away like it really doesn't matter
keep being someone else and eventually it'll transfer
but we never notice the pattern
we climb to the top but we on the wrong ladder
and i took step after step with no regard to where they lead
everybody is the same in a different way we need
self obsessed with regrets, interests and greed
water the seeds but forget to rip out the weeds
the coolest venues turned us all into
future dead beat dads, drop outs, loose screws,
dont end up on the news we end up with a noose
tied around our knecks left with no choices to choose

I just want to go back home.
who can help us when we're all alone
I just want to go back home
Who can help us when we're all alone
I just want to go back home
my life's the opposite of what I dreamed
everything i want is nothing i need
who can help us when we're all alone
i just want to feel like i'm not on my own

scars cover my body but i never learned a thing
used to dream of a life that wouldn't cause any pain
I only care for myself now filled with this shame
I never change, this is my life, everything I've gave
transformed like a butterfly, stings like a bumblebee
eventually to go back to nothing is no longer humbling
stumbling through this course, obstacles and swords
stabbing in the back, back track with no remorse
i remember late night with the friends
I wonder where they all went, how it all ends
I did a lot more than burn the bridge
I took the houses and streets, the whole village
it's like my life is pretend
I wake up, go through the motions, then do it all again
I used to want to make amends
now i dont need to forgive, just to forget

I just want to go back home.
who can help us when we're all alone
I just want to go back home
who can help us when we're all alone
I just want to go back home
my life's the opposite of what I dreamed
everything i want is nothing i need
who can help us when we're all alone
i just want to feel like i'm not on my own

it's the final countdown, bout to take off
got no more time for myself, such a lost cause
i'm lost cause there's no one who could hold on
the path wasn't marked out so I must've walked off
I here there's still a chance, I don't know how
i heard rumors of someone who takes the lost makes them found
heard of sea of grace that can pull deep down
and if you dive to the depths you'll discover how to drown
it sounds good, probably not for me
I gave me these chains i could never be free
I could never be me without this encumbrance
this is who i am now, lost and loveless
how could you show me love in abundance?
take my burdens on your shoulders like they are nothin'
i've struggled my whole life with the fact that i'm me
and the fact that you love it, is hard to believe
Lord, I think you may be everything i need
but to let all this other stuff go i can't achieve
you say you'll take it, the weight on your back breaks it
in my fakeness i was your favorite, show me what grace is

you can help us when we're all alone
I think it's time to go back home
