Beginnings

(album: Noise Floor - 2018)

And something makes me get up off the ground
Dust myself off and take a look around
And I see nothing left of all I fought to keep
Oh my God how long have I been asleep?

The sun is up
The dew's still on the ground
I know it must be morning
But the birds they don't make a sound
And I see a scar
From what must have been a knife
And last thing I remember
Was fighting for my life
But now
I swear that I don't even feel the pain
So I don't care what day it is
I just know it's a brand-new day

Yesterday was feeling right as rain
Was numb to all the pain
Had made my choice but then
Yesterday the bottom fell right out
The curtain dropped
The voice of reason stood up to shout
Take a left at the fork in the road
Forget what you think you know
Stray from the code
Then yesterday I finally lent an ear
Despite the wasted years
But not without a tear
Yesterday I finally set it right
Straight into the night
Felt like I would die
Felt like I would die

With every loss someone is winning
So take it back to the beginning
Your show it isn't done, no lights are dimming
So take it back to the beginning

So think about the things you choose
And all you have left to lose
You could look back
But the clock's still spinning
It's not what you've left behind
Keep what's ahead in mind
A brand-new day
And a new beginning

With every loss someone is winning
So take it back to the beginning
Your show it isn't done, no lights are dimming
So take it back to the beginning

So think about the things you choose
And all you have left to lose
You could look back
But the clock's still spinning
It's not what you've left behind
Keep what's ahead in mind
A brand-new day
But the clock's still spinning

So think about the things you choose
And all you have left to lose
You can't look back
Keep your head just spinning
And the struggle was worth the fight
The shadow exposed the light
A brand-new day
And a new beginning
