By the Sea Lyrics

We were
young,
numb,
and violent
all at once.
We were always smashing glass but
it was never enough
to make us feel OK.
Are we normal boys? Is this the normal way?
We've been dragging dead weight across Midwest towns.
Killing our times
with our frowns.
Alone in the crowd
four years down
feeling torn and beaten down.
Alone in the crowd
four years down,
our hearts were beating to this sound.

Me and you: we never got much sleep those nights.
There was too much turmoil
too deep inside.
Lost in the dark without our pride...
there was a light at the end of that tunnel,
but we chose to shield our eyes.
Could It be?
Are we seeing clearly
for the
very
first
time?
We've been to the edge
and we know what it's like to want to die...
and that's something we won't glorify.
We'll leave those miserable times behind.
How far can I go?
I'm rising from the depths
of my own hell.
I don't need another tragic tale.
I need the strength
to
walk
the other
way.
I found conviction in my ever changing mind.
I grew up tied down and bleeding on the inside,
I know I was a victim of my own device,
and I want to live to see a brand new life.
