Comeback Kid

from the start of the day
to the end of the race
we thought we had this all figured out
without a moment to waste
but we choke, we choke on our words
we waste all of our days
throw off another year
living our lives is our greatest fear
from being useless to being used
we lie awake wondering why another year is wasted
another chance to live PASSED BY US
this on the tip of our tongues
the silence of our lives
but this flame keeps burning
we'll never lay down and die
this isn't hopeless
we'll keep on fighting until the bitter end
