Lyrics by Adam O' Neill

Candles in the window
There was silence in the air
A young girl cries out
In the middle of the prayer

Her father returned home
With medals on his chest
His body cold and lifeless
Along with all the rest

Another fallen soldier
Struck down by a shell
Another shattered home
Descended into hell

Her mum consoles her
She tries her very best
But her daughter knows
She's now fatherless.

She had so much to tell him
About when he was gone
Her mother holds her tightly
Telling her to be strong

She can't understand
Why he went to war
What was the cause?
What was it all for?

Her father returned home
With medals on his chest
His body cold and lifeless
Along with all the rest

Another fallen soldier
Struck down by a shell
Another shattered home
Another sad farewell

Feelings overwhelm her
She can hardly believe
Her chest it tightens
Now, she can hardly breathe

She stands up at the coffin
Tears rolling down her face
She looks down at her father
Knowing he can't be replaced

Her father returned home
With medals on his chest
His memory will live on
But he'll forever be laid to rest

Alone with my thoughts
Thinking what have I become
A sense of understanding
As to why I've become numb.

Depending on the outlook
Some could say I'm doing well
But living in isolation is like
My very own private hell

Poor decisions on my part
Feeling some type of way
Depression rears its ugly head
Looks like this time it's here to stay

Yeah, I'm waiting in this place
For the day to finally come,
When I vacate this space
And pay the final sum.

Silence hangs in the air,
The beauty I cannot see.
Killing time with a stare,
In a room without a key.

Thoughts circle my mind,
Like a merry-go-round.
Joy, I can no longer find.
Only misery I have found.

What will become of me?
Can my sorry soul ever be saved?
Or will I take the road to hell,
The one that I have paved.

There's four walls around me
I'm trapped in this damn cage
Unable to escape my thoughts
Praying I don't die from old age.

I'm sorry for my sins
I've had a lot of time to think
And if only I could go back now
I'd have given up the drink

Now
I'm waiting in this place
For the day to finally come,
When I vacate this space
And pay the final sum.

Silence hangs in the air,
The beauty I cannot see.
Killing time with a stare,
In a room without a key.

It's been three weeks
Since you left me
Things have gotten worse
Another sleepless night
Feels like I've been cursed.

Like a candle without a flame
I'm just sitting collecting dust
And I know it's all my fault
I betrayed your trust.

Ever since you left me
This world seems so black
And I know you can't help me
But I just want you back

I fall to my knees
Calling out your name
Knowing that my life
Will never be the same

Like a raging hurricane
You charged out that door
And left everything we had
Strewn across the floor

Ever since you left me
This world seems so black
And I know you can't help me
But I just want you back

I've had plenty time to think
And it's driving me demented
If I hadn't taken all that drink
This could have been prevented.

I'm not saying we can fix it
I just want you to know
I'll be sorry til the day I die
That I ever let you go.

Ever since you left me
This world seems so black
And I know you can't help me
But I just want you back

I just want you back

Whiskey in a bottle
Beside my bed
My eyes are tired
and bloodshot red

I had a bad night
My girl she left
Will she come back?
I won't hold my breath

I really don't blame her
She put up with a lot
Now this damn bottles
All I got.

With trying to change me
She was obsessed
But being who I am
is what I do best

Seems she got tired
Of me saying no
So she up and left me
Just the way it goes

Will she meet the right one?
Lord I know it wasn't me
She wanted a good man
But I've got bad in me.

I think I'm going crazy
I just want her to return
But she's more of an angel
And I was made to burn

Yeah, I had a bad night,
My girl she's gone
Seems together
We don't belong

I really don't blame her
She put up with a lot
Now this damn bottles
All I got

All I got

All I got

Boss don't pay near enough
Struggling to make ends meat
Trying to figure out some stuff
In a world that's got me beat

My bills, they are mounting
I'm waiting to cash my cheque
I'll be left counting pennies
Seems I'm slipping into debt

Maybe I should just say fuck it
Pack up for the day
Tell the boss where he can shove it
And go about my day

Trying to watch my spending
Am I supposed to buy no food?
Not interested in lending
Though still considering if I should

Seems the game is rigged
The rules are no longer fair
We're all circling the drain
And no one seems to care

Maybe I should just say fuck it
Pack up for the day
Tell the boss where he can shove it
And go about my day

I'm sick of being broke
Supposedly I have a good job
But everytime I get paid
It feels like I've been robbed

The money ain't stretching
I need to find something new
Who am I telling? No doubt
The same things happening you

Maybe I should just say fuck it
Pack up for the day
Tell the boss where he can shove it
And go about my day
