lyrics

[Chorus]
The saints are the sinners who keep on trying/
These pages are on extension of me/
If you can believe in anything/
Believe, believe in me/
Cause I live with a sickness that i'm drowning from/
These inner-outer monologues; what have I become/
Oh/
You are, You are not lost/

Mark the date and time/
I'll write the first words composed in mind/
Oh/
For these words reveal the truth/
Within me/
Concealed with secrets/
"My demons are mine to confine/
My demons are mine to outshine"/

For years/
I've been drowning my soul with substances/
And four years/
I've managed to mask my disgusting, weak-minded.../
Actions/
That'll make one stomach curl/
Displaying my world though these eyes/
Painting these lies on these lines in this moleskine/
Frankly, I've used about all nine lives/
Sometimes I felt like dying/
You may look down upon me/
But the saints are the sinners who keep on trying/

[Chorus]
These pages are on extension of me/
If you can believe in anything/
Believe, believe in me/
Cause I live with a sickness that i'm drowning from/
These inner-outer monologues; what have I become/
Oh/
You are, You are not.../

Lost/
I've been lost my entire life/
Friends and family provide insight/
Maybe I should show my face in the daylight/
Instead of writing in (this) [a] book like a playwright/

"Our demons are ours to confine/
Cause we're the only ones who can grow from them/
They are the only things that help strengthen...ourselves"/

My addictons will be lost never found/

I'll walk away from the influence/
And whatever else to never backtrack/
Thin ice is better than nothing at all/
And these true loves will catch my fall/
We'll all crawl on the path to deliverance/
Oh, at least we're moving forward/
These words are meant to resite and rewind/
For all the ones who are sick/
This is for human-kind/

With hope/
We find, we find our wings/ x2
