Stadium Saints

Twenty-eight and staring at the ceiling again Asking questions that nobody could

answer back then Had faith in my hands,

had doubt in my chest Built a war in my mind,

couldn't give it a rest Read books looking for a map to

the stars Found philosophers talking 'bout invisible scars Everybody had a meaning,

everybody had a way But I was still getting lost at the

end of the day Some nights felt empty,

some days felt cursed Tried to understand the universe before myself first

Chasing something bigger than money or fame Looking in the mirror asking,

"Who am I today?"

And every time I fell down

I learned how to stand alone

Every closed door became another road

Same wounds, same soul,

but I'm still here

Lost myself a hundred times,

but I'm still here

Rain came, pain came,

I don't fear Everybody left,

look around, I'm still here

Same road, same scars,

but I'm still here Nights got cold,

heart got hard, I'm still here

Dreams broke, hope broke through the windshield

Life tried taking everything,

I'm still here

Now I'm making songs from the pages I wrote

Turning all my old pain

into something people quote Every city,

every face, every lesson that remained Every goodbye taught me something every

hello couldn't explain Used to think I needed answers,

now I live with the unknown

Built a little light inside and finally made it home

Got dreams in my pocket and a fire in my lungs

If they ask me where I'm headed,

tell 'em I've just begun

Same wounds, same soul,

but I'm still here

Lost myself a hundred times,

but I'm still here

Rain came, pain came,

I don't fear Everybody left,

look around, I'm still here

Same road, same scars,

but I'm still here Nights got cold,

heart got hard, I'm still here

Dreams broke, hope broke through the windshield

Life tried taking everything,

I'm still here

They see the smile now

They don't know the nights

They hear the music now

They don't know the fights

But that's alright...
