"I wrote this song about a coup;e of close friends dealing with the harshness and pain of substance abuse. This song remains very dear to me this day"

(Brian Korban)

Each breath a struggle

Your dreams slip away

Blinded, reality

Gets harder and harder to face

Killing themselves

What can explain

A moment of pleasure for a lifetime of pain

Killing themselves

It's such a waste

[Pre-Chorus]:

Dare to realize

It's never too late

You can't brush it off

As just a dream

It's never too late to change

[Chorus]:

...And Kingdoms rise

...And Kingdoms fall

Down will come baby cradle and all

Lured in, prisoners

To its domain, crippled

It watches you bleed

What a waste

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]:

Dependency grows

Need more and more

With nothing to show

The endless war

Life slips through your hands

[Chorus]
