Storm Drains

When every day is just a struggle to keep your head above the waves
You draw a line from your choices through your anguish to your grave
And nobody told you it would be like this:
Hollowed out and empty inside you, with nothing else but regret left to guide you
As it falls away
When it falls away you must decide what becomes of the pain inside
Will you let it bring you down and end your days?
Or will you search for brand new means and brand new ways?
When hope is lost beneath the layers of remorse behind your eyes
And every instinct is sacrificed to the Gods of compromise
And nobody cares that you feel like this
Full of rage for the path that's behind you, feeling lost with no one left to find you
As it falls away
When it falls away you must decide what becomes of the pain inside
Will you let it bring you down and freeze your heart?
Will you let it tear your little world apart?
Will you let it break your weary back with strife?
Or will fight your fear and Turnoveranewlife?
It's waiting for me, I can tell, it won't be long now
If only I knew how to get there, won't someone please tell me how?
Someone please tell me how, it won't be too long now
'Til it falls away
As it falls away
