Lyrics to Gloom
Something tells me I can't take it
I've been here before
Left outside, nowhere to hide
Barred windows, locked doors
And all the monsters are creeping out from where they dwell
The corners of my mind
They tell me that we're doomed, our thoughts, our tomb
But stars need night to shine
Something tells me I can't take it
I've had my fair share of trouble
I've seen some things, I'd rather forget
Something tells me I can't take it
I let it make me humble
Confident now that I'm friends with death
Something tells me I can't take it
I've been here before
Left outside, nowhere to hide
Barred windows, locked doors
I know that I'll make a difference, down to my core
Being told that I can't makes me want it more
When you can greet it all, without fear
Even tradegy with its healing tears
This world becomes precious and vibrant
The swirling movement, colors clear
So hold on
When you feel that all your efforts are failing
Just hold on
It's hard to see all the progress you're making
All the monsters are creeping out from where they dwell
The corners of my mind
But I'll just smile and wish them well
Watch the gloom retreat in light
Sometimes you've only begun
To lick your wounds
When the walls cave in
The pain resumes
Those scars will heal, love
You've got a strength in you
Maybe you've only begun
To hum the tune
Then a new song kicks in
Dissonance consumes
Learn to love the silence
Yeah, you'll hear the truth
I know the waters seem muddy
But beauty will soon bloom
And though the fires are burning
Brand new life will push through
So hold on
When you feel that all your efforts are failing
Just hold on
It's hard to see all the progress you're making
All the monsters are creeping out from where they dwell
The corners of my mind
But I'll just smile and wish them well
Watch the gloom retreat in light
You could have just found a loved one
Cold and dead on the floor
It's like your world comes undone
Would things be different if we had done more?
Maybe there is something to outrun
But it's all around you
Maybe you're holding a gun
If you end, things can't get better for you
So hold on
When you feel that all your efforts are failing
Just hold on
It's hard to see all the progress you're making
All the monsters are creeping out from where they dwell
The corners of my mind
But I'll just smile and wish them well
Watch the gloom retreat in light
I've been here before
Left outside, nowhere to hide
Barred windows, locked doors
And all the monsters are creeping out from where they dwell
The corners of my mind
They tell me that we're doomed, our thoughts, our tomb
But stars need night to shine
Something tells me I can't take it
I've had my fair share of trouble
I've seen some things, I'd rather forget
Something tells me I can't take it
I let it make me humble
Confident now that I'm friends with death
Something tells me I can't take it
I've been here before
Left outside, nowhere to hide
Barred windows, locked doors
I know that I'll make a difference, down to my core
Being told that I can't makes me want it more
When you can greet it all, without fear
Even tradegy with its healing tears
This world becomes precious and vibrant
The swirling movement, colors clear
So hold on
When you feel that all your efforts are failing
Just hold on
It's hard to see all the progress you're making
All the monsters are creeping out from where they dwell
The corners of my mind
But I'll just smile and wish them well
Watch the gloom retreat in light
Sometimes you've only begun
