my mind’s a kaleidoscope , it thinks too fast
blurs all the colors ’til i can’t see past
the last mistake , the choice i made
staring in the mirror with myself to blame
sometimes i’m afraid of the thoughts inside
nowhere to hide inside my mind
i’m scared that you’ll compare and i’ll look a lifetime past repair
i second guess myself to death , i re – solicit every step
what if my words are meaningless? what if my heart’s misleading this?

i try to capture every moment as it comes to me
bottle up the memories and let them keep me company

//Chorus

Cm | Gm | G# | D#

when the hope of morning starts to fade in me

Cm | Gm | G# | A#

i don’t dare let darkness have its way with me

Cm | Gm | G# | D#

and the hope of morning makes me worth the fight

Fm | Fm | G# | Gsus4

i will not be giving in tonight

when i’m old and grey , or thirty , or whatever happens first ,
i’ll need you to reassure me i didn’t waste a verse
or worse , what if my life’s work is reduced to just myself
like never let you get a word in , while i dissect my mental health

or lack thereof , whatever , there’s too many things to track
i really can’t remember if i’m insane or insomniac
now days , all the kids want crazy , wanna diagnose themselves
trade up made up epidemics , pass around prescription pills
but my disorder can’t be cured by a bottle , blade , or dose
self – disgust and selfishness tend to hold me awfully close
but i don’t wanna let you see that , i don’t want my friends to know
self – disgust and selfishness take me everywhere i go

//Chorus

Cm | Gm | G# | D#

when the hope of morning starts to fade in me

Cm | Gm | G# | A#

i don’t dare let darkness have its way with me

Cm | Gm | G# | D#

and the hope of morning makes me worth the fight

try as i might to keep it together
why is recovery taking forever
fool the whole world , just until i get better
i’m terrified i’ll be faking forever
on and on i wonder what went wrong inside my head
i don’t have to have the answers , but tonight i wish i did
all the pain i can’t explain away won’t fade
all the the secrets silenced by the shame
don’t make me say it [ x7 ]

//Chorus

Cm | Gm | G# | D#

when the hope of morning starts to fade in me

Cm | Gm | G# | A#

i don’t dare let darkness have its way with me

Cm | Gm | G# | D#

and the hope of morning makes me worth the fight

Fm | Fm | G# | Gsus4

i will not be giving in tonight
