[Verse 1]
I take one step forward and two steps back
It's always been like that—it shouldn't be like that
I'm trying to overcome myself
I'm trying to work around this hell

Two steps forward and three steps back
Why is life like that? Why am I like that?
I'm trying to understand myself
I'm trying to fight through this hell

[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't I see this clearly?
(See this clearly) Why can't I?

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, you, while you're living the dream
If you've seen what I've seen, nothing is clean
Hey, hey, you, while I'm rolling the dice
I've been paying the price, I've been walking on ice
Hey, hey, you, just get out of my way
At the end of the day, you got nothing to say
Hey, hey, you, see the look in my eyes
Will the sun ever rise? Will the sun ever rise?

Will the sun ever rise?
[Verse 2]
All the days gone by and I can't get 'em back
What was my name now and what is my name now?
I'm trying to rise above myself
I'm trying to look beyond this hell

Seems like I got way off track
No one ever found me, no one unbound me
They wonder why I hate myself
Surrounded by a living hell

[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't I see this clearly?
(See this clearly) Why can't I?

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, you, while you're living the dream
If you've seen what I've seen, nothing is clean
Hey, hey, you, while I'm rolling the dice
I've been paying the price, I've been walking on ice
Hey, hey, you, just get out of my way
At the end of the day, you got nothing to say
Hey, hey, you, see the look in my eyes
Will the sun ever rise? Will the sun ever rise?

[Bridge]
Will the sun ever rise?
Will the sun ever rise?
Will the sun ever rise?
Will the sun ever rise?
Will the sun ever rise?
[Solo]

[Chorus]
Hey, hey, you, while you're living the dream
If you've seen what I've seen, nothing is clean
Hey, hey, you, while I'm rolling the dice
I've been paying the price, I've been walking on ice
Hey, hey, you, just get out of my way
At the end of the day, you got nothing to say
Hey, hey, you, see the look in my eyes
Will the sun ever rise? Will the sun ever rise?

[Outro]
Will the sun ever rise?
Will the sun ever rise?
Will the sun ever rise?

[Additional Chorus via CD Booklet]
Hey, hey, you, when it's crumbling down
It's all falling around, I gotta man up, man up
Hey, hey, you, when my world is on fire
I'm tripping the wire, I gotta turn my head around
Hey, hey, hey, no matter what the price
Blood and sacrifice, just to man up, man up
Hey, hey, hey, it's like starting again
This ain't the end, hold your head up
