lyrics

I'd like to say what's on my mind
And then I'll try to keep it down
I'd write it down but I know
You would figure it out

We are all keepers in our mothers' eyes
But out there you're just another drink in a bar
Another drink in a bar

And when our bodies fill up with that cracking sense
Cracking sense of loss
We are even less

We know we should be running
But somehow our legs won't play along
Cause out there you're just another crack in the wall
Another crack in the wall
Out there you're just another spark
In a lonely souls' eye

Kid you've been running for too long, acting so strong
You're probably missing your home, but those days are now gone
No there is no goal, only a messy old road
You take a step at a time, pretending there was no crime
In selling your past, believing it wouldn't last
Now get up and fight, for who you think is right

But before, you need a reality check
