[Verse 1]
I’m quickly sinking, but I can’t keep reaching
For something so far because reality continues to sink in
I’m in a dark room, I just need a little space
There’s some mistakes, written in ink, now I can’t erase
When I try to count my mistakes, I just keep on counting
But the pain, this darkness, it keeps on surrounding
I have so much to say, so why should I pipe down then?
Life gets shorter, I’ll face the darkness, so I’ll fight now then

[Chorus]
Times like these, my heart stays on the pavement
And it leaves me feeling so numb
But no matter what, I’ll always get back up
Because this is how far I’ve come
Times like these, my heart stays on the pavement
And it leaves me feeling so numb
But no matter what, I’ll always get back up
Because this is how far I’ve come

[Verse 2]
I know that I’m speaking, I become beast when
I look inside myself and see all the demons
I’m facing freedom, breaking away from the chains
I’m gonna face the change, face all the pain
The wealth is health, the poor die young
I won’t lie, speak the truth, won’t hold my tongue
Won’t die poor, because what will that give me?
Be stronger, we should question these lies
Don’t measure my value, because I wonder
What will happen when I climb out the gutter
[Chorus]
Times like these, my heart stays on the pavement
And it leaves me feeling so numb
But no matter what, I’ll always get back up
Because this is how far I’ve come
Times like these, my heart stays on the pavement
And it leaves me feeling so numb
But no matter what, I’ll always get back up
Because this is how far I’ve come
