It took me everything I had to give all that I could
Walk beside me while I sleep, steer me from the slumber wolf
Tangled forest of the mind speaks to me of self-despise
Close the window through the pane, hear the sirens' serenade

Could have been the comeback kid, the southpaw's legend glove to fill
No shadow boxer but the one, a true contender for the crown
Now this punch drunk grinning soul
In its corner begs "no more"

Hey now, stay proud, you were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud
Hey now, stay proud, you were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud but we hardly knew you

The chamber echo never speaks, the rushing tide devours my feet
No global warming fills this soul, for hell it freezes what it stole
From the beggar's empty plate
To our world that stuffs its face

Hey now, stay proud, you were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud
Hey now, stay proud, you were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud but we hardly knew you

But these tired eyes are crashing down on me
While the paint never dries on these four walls that now suffocate me
But tonight, maybe tonight all will be free
Release, unlock this prison door, it can't hold me anymore
Serpent lied with sting of tail, hand of reason rusts the nail
Now this punch drunk grinning soul
In its corner begs "no more"

Hey now, stay proud, you were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud
Hey now, stay proud, you were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud but we hardly knew you

We hardly knew you
We hardly knew you
We hardly knew you
