a cup of two day old coffee

you're feeling like yourself again

you're still on your own

you've survived another night in this dingy room with the same four walls



lookin' in the mirrors

gettin' easier these days

that old friend anger is losing its hold on

you the game is survival in this crazy world

and it's good to see you're still standing strong



not too long ago you were tearing at a world

that would never let you in

strung out, outcast turned away

you kept your face to the ground

and fought the world with your silence



and so the seasons change and the people change

and the good times come and the good times go

found yourself in a winless race fighting

for a cause you never believed



its easy to regret

not so easy to forget all the stupid things that used to hold you down

you gotta brake that chain and move on

cuz i know i've seen it in your eyes before



to surrender now to throw it all away

is to sacrifice but you can't repay

in a world that don't owe you shit

you gotta think for yourself and fight every bit of that piece of mind that keeps you going on

gets you outta bed

and out that door

step back take a look around

and soon you'll find there's something more



that'll come your way with a little patience

it will all work out for you in the end

this is my song to a friend that

never needed anyone until now

some times you get too close to see

a different side of what life could be

and if you stare too long it all becomes a blur

and its easy to forget just who we are

don't stare to hard, just take a look around...
