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 ♪ I'm living clean, oh, I'm getting redeemed on this land ♪ But it ain't what you think, it's the toil of a much braver man ♪ Lately, I weep at the strangest things we understand ♪ Oh, like every new line that's defined on the back of my hand ♪ And I'm hardly holding on In the dark, before the dawn ♪ Don't call it religion when I seek salvation inside Oh, it's just surrendering all of yourself to this life ♪ Man, it gets lonely seeing the spite in their eyes ♪ Before they walk away, being blinded by 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
