I'm thinking tonight of my entire life as a whole
Oh and what it might mean if I ever get back in control
Alone and forsaken by everyone I've ever known
Hell i even abandoned myself some years ago
And I'm hardly holding on
In the dark before the dawn

Oh I'm living clean oh I'm getting redeemed on this land
But it ain't what you think its the toil of a much braver man
Lately I weep at the strangest things we understand
Oh like every new linе that's defined on the back of my hand
And I'm hardly holding on
In thе dark before the dawn

Don't call it religion when I seek salvation inside
Oh its just surrendering all of yourself to this life
And man it gets lonely seeing the spite in their eyes
Before they walk away being blinded any old light
And I'm hardly holding on
In the dark before the dawn

I'm thinking tonight of my entire life as a whole
Oh and what it might mean if I ever get back in control
