Before the Morning Sun Lyrics

Before the Morning Sun Lyrics

Sitting awake before the morning sun

Only 'cause I couldn't fall asleep while the night was young

I'm restless, can't call myself stressless

These past weeks have left me breathless and senseless

My brother from another mother lost a brother

My father lost his father, I lost a friend

Something that I couldn't comprehend

We'll never see these men again

Once upon a time life was so innocent

We're past the past

The now is now

The future will be here in a minute

But I don't care what's going down, anyhow

I miss the time with the many smiles

When we could always stretch it for a little while

Now you're gone and it feels like I'm alone

Oh, God damn it, how I miss you so

Sometimes it will feel time can stop

Sometimes I feel like giving up

But then I hear a voice inside of me

Saying, better die with your chin up than living on your knees

Daydreaming is okay sometimes

But to face the facts really hurts

And when you finally feel the weight of your burden

Get up again if you kiss the dirt

I'd rather live one day as a lion

Than live a hundred years as a sheep

I'd rather reign in hell than serve in heaven

Live my dreams out in reality and not in my sleep

The past is gone

The now is now

The future will be here in a minute

But I don't care what's going down, what's going down

People tell me, pick yourself up off the road

Can't I just stay and get squashed like a little toad?

They'll say, you have a burden to carry

Somewhere along the line, there's a girl to marry

But don't worry, I'll get up

I won't give it up even if it won't stop

Hurting in my heart now that we're apart

My chronic pain is about to start, will it be hard?

I'd rather live one day as a lion

Than live a hundred years as a sheep

I'd rather reign in hell than serve in heaven

Live my dreams out in reality and not in my sleep

We're past the past

The now is now

The future will be here in a minute

But I don't care what's going down

'Cause we're past the past

The now is now

The future will be here in a minute

But I don't care what's going down, anyhow
