lyrics

It seems like I'm always losing faith in everyone around me
I will never relive these passing moments
They are just glimpses of who I used to be
I DREAM OF A CITY BY THE OCEAN
And I watch as the tide swallows it whole

I can't save anyone
I can't even save myself
From the crushing waves

Alone at the gallows you will stand
(This life won't let you be)
Alone at the gallows you will stand
(You will stand)

And I have been wrong about so many things
I lost track years ago
My veins are numb, my skin is calloused
MY HEART IS BROKEN

As the last light dims from my eyes
I catch a brief reflection of what I was
This is for you as much as it is meant for myself
Because we've got a lot to learn
A lot to learn about sinking ships

Just look around and tell me was this worth it?
IS ANY OF THIS WORTH IT?

Alone at the gallows you will stand
(This life won't let you be)
Alone at the gallows you will stand

I promise I won't waste another moment
On regret or denial

You can find fault in any man
But it takes true courage and belief
(To look inside oneself)

I gave up nothing, I tried to save this city
But only so many souls
Can be saved before you'll drown yourself
I'VE GOT TO SAVE MYSELF
