SeeMoreGlass - This Is No Dream, This Is Really Happening

I live my life like I'm trying to extinguish the dark
Always breaking off branches and burning them out in the yard
Watching the embers that float till they're swallowed by trees
Those bright yellow birds in a forest of acorn and green
Oh, grace, why are you just out of reach
Oh, peace, the promise of perfect relief
I wait for the daylight, but it never comes...
I watch all my friends become cogs in this violent machine
Always exhausted now never as light as they seemed
We roared through our twenties, emotional youth in a storm
Always halfway to dying, exhaling the fuel from the stars
Oh, age, you always put me in my place
The more things change they always just end up the same
I wait for the daylight, but it never comes...
I consider myself an incredibly fortunate man
The love I receive is just something I can't understand
My wife and my family well sometimes they terrify me
Cause what happens one day when they're no longer there
To plug in the breathing machine
Oh, love, won't you breathe some new life into me
Because like fish in the fall, we're always swimming upstream
I wait for the daylight, but it never comes...
Oh, hope please stop abandoning me
Oh, hope, you're the only branch left on the tree
I know the daylight one day...it's going to come
