lyrics

Here I sit, staring into outer space feeling like I am a failure. I guess that means that it is a Monday. Although it could be any other day, for that matter. Oh…
What have I done with my life? Wrote a few songs rife with cliches. That’s better than average but still not good enough for the Book of Days.
All I wanted to do was to leave a mark on the universe, but all I’ve got are these bright red scars. Oh!
I would like to wake up someday feeling like...feeling like I weigh absolutely nothing.
Here you sit, staring into outer space. I promise that you’re not a failure. I know that you may find it hard to believe, but every single thing you’ve ever done has always mattered. Oh!
What have you done with your life? Well, you followed your dreams to the dark. And that’s better than average ‘cause most of us never get that far. All you wanted to do was to leave a mark. Well, you left an indelible one right here...right here on my heart. Oh!
I hope you wake up someday feeling like you’re no longer under the weight of absolutely nothing.
