Darkest Days

(album: My Republic - 2006)

Pulling down toxins from the atmosphere
Making all of my decisions based on fear
I never gave a fuck about what I could be
Declared a private war on authority
I got what you need, 'cause I'm a bad seed
Running on adrenaline and living on greed
I'm tired of being, I'm sick of my scene
Looking for the end or a place I can finally come clean

'Cause I remember
One time, something to live for
Now so long ago
Faces always are changing
Lies and disguise for the things we know
One time, something to live for
Somehow I've lost my way
Those times I pissed away now
Echo in my darkest days

Walking every day, thinking that I know best
Wearing my contempt like a bullet-proof vest
On my way I'm going to make it all mine
Rolling in the gutter just to kill some time
But I was dead-wrong, and now it's all gone
I won't become the fool that I've abused for so long
The line's played out, I've got to get back
Chase away the negative, and throw away the useless track

'Cause I remember
One time, something to live for
Now so long ago
Faces always are changing
Lies and disguise for the things we know
One time, something to live for
Somehow I've lost my way
Those times I pissed away now
Echo in my darkest days

I've seen things I hope I never see again
(There's another place to fall)
I don't want to have to bury any more friends
(There's another friend to call)
Living on the edge of a sign of our times
(There's a world beyond yourself)
Dying in the wreckage we create with our crimes
(There are those who tried to help)

One time, something to live for
Now so long ago
Faces always are changing
Lies and disguise for the things we know
One time, something to live for
Somehow I've lost my way
Those times I pissed away now
Echo in my darkest days
