Staring at the walls to pass the time

Pinch myself make sure I’m still alive

I’m not alright, it’s become a disguise

Friends and family, I’m losing all ties



Staring at the walls to pass the time

Pinch myself to make sure I’m still alive

I’ve been here before, I will survive

Another month under gray skies

Another month under gray skies

Gray skies



I’m holding on as tight as I can

The monotony never seems to end

Every day feels the same

Every day I think about the place

I’d rather be than here



I’ve been here before, I will survive

Another month under these gray skies 

I’ve been here before, I will survive

Another month under these gray skies 



We’ve carried each other

Through and over the seas, over seas

We live for nights like this

The ones we won’t forget, forever remembered

We live for nights like this

The ones we won’t forget, forever remembered



I hope to open my eyes to see this picture

I’m throwing it all away

I hope to open my eyes to see this moment

That I should treasure forever



Staring at the walls to pass the time

Pinch myself make sure I’m still alive

I’m not alright, it’s become a disguise

Friends and family, I’m losing all ties

I’m holding on as tight as i can

Coming home, I don’t know when

I’m holding on as tight as I can 

I swear

I swear



My dearest love, I woke up tired today

Even more so than yesterday

How that’s possible I don’t even know

Nor do I want to

It’s hard to find a motivation when you are this drained

My body aches but I’m used to feeling this way

17 down, 17 to go, that’s not so bad right?

I think of home often and of you even more

Yesterday I saw the sun shining

It appeared for a few minutes just after 2

For a moment I found myself smiling

As if those short rays of light were enough to get me by

Maybe that was enough, thank God, I needed that



For a moment I found myself smiling

As if those short rays of light

Were enough to get me by

Maybe that was enough

Thank God, I surely needed that



I surely needed that 

Thank God, I surely needed that
