lyrics

I'm sick of seeing
Broken hopes on withered faces
Cold and alone
Living in the gutters of forgotten places
And who's to blame
For running out of all your 'final chances'
And who will dig you out
Of that hole, you made for yourself

Well I've been there myself
With no one to count on and all alone
And I made it out
You've got to pick yourself up off the ground
You can't let the anchors in life drag you down

And I still believe there's a light in the darkest days
And I still believe the only way out is to save yourself

Well you can't let life
And all it's problems get in the way
Of choosing your own path, of deciding your own fate
Outside sources may be at play, it's up to you to force them away

And I still believe there's a light in the darkest days
I still believe the only way out is to save yourself
I still believe there's still time to be saved
And I still believe you can live in hell, or choose another way (out)

The anchors in my life wont drown me
The crosses on my back - they will lift me
The nail's in this coffin wont bury me
I'll break free, I'll break free
