And I've tried all the different angles
I've tried every fucking frame
Still this shitshow somehow manages
To always look the same
And I've tried burning all the bridges
I brought fire to the flame
And I'd burn every goddamn memory
To illuminate this place
Cause it's too dark for me to shine
It's always darkest before tonight
Thought I was home when I was not
Well, I guess this is what Mark meant back then
When he sang 'bout growing up
I thought the best was yet to come
And I've been waiting for so long
That I grew old instead of up
And it's been thirty years right now
I can't believe how wrong this sounds
And I've tried all the different tactics
I have caught myself off guard
I made peace with all my enemies
And reached out to those I love
For so long I fought a battle
That I forgot the reason why
Can't remember what it used to be
But the fire looks quite nice
Cause it's too dark for me to shine
It's always darkest before tonight
Thought I was home when I was not
Well, I guess this is what Mark meant back then
When he sang 'bout growing up
I thought the best was yet to come
And I've been waiting for so long
That I grew old instead of up
And it's been thirty years right now
I can't believe how wrong this sounds
Is it over now
Is it over now
Thought I was home when I was not
Well, I guess this is what Mark meant back then
When he sang 'bout growing up
I thought the best was yet to come
And I've been waiting for so long
That I grew old instead of up
It's over now
