LYRICS
I’m tied down
I’m all out of gas
I turned down the chance
Didn’t want to fall out of bed
I’m holding back all the time
‘Cause everything is overgrown and tired
I’m hanging by a thread on a vine
I’m asking for help from above
I’m trying to find that reason to love
‘Cause I’m a debt
I’m rolling back
You make amends, you give what you get
I’m holding back all the signs
When I really should have called you that night
It eats me alive all the time
I remembered I had something to give
I’m trying to find that reason to live
It’s all you know when our time is all gone
In all this time I hope you find
A way to be happier
Through all the lights the darkest nights
I wish you were happier
And all you know, this world’s so cold
So won’t you pretend like we could never wonder why
In all this time I hope you find
A way to be happier
Turning my back again
Never look back again
I’m taking my time
I’m learning to let you in
But I needed you to guide me out from here
I know you see right through me
We all went blind
The hand goes backwards
I count the time
In all this time I hope you find
A way to be happier
Through all the lights the darkest nights
I wish you were happier
And all you know, this world’s so cold
So won’t you pretend like we could never wonder why
In all this time I hope you find
A way to be happier

[@xanderraymondcharles]

the song made me cry. Most of us aren't really happy, especially during the current state of the world. But at the end of the day, we're all just trying to do our best to make it through life and enjoy it while we can. Nicely done, gentlemen. A true masterpiece of a song.

Its a BIG stretch for me, I know its Not a health way to live, i have been down some bad roads.. From choices i made with Drugs, Homelessness, and people i chose to have in my life.. And to just be completely Honest i have been a Fuck up.. And, right now im in a time of my life after all those Bad choices that brought me here.. I still continue to make the choice to Fuck up... But, what i would like to say is Thank u to the guys of Volumes for writing this.. Because it speaks to the individuals that feel like they are in a Dark Cold place in life.. Thank u again to the guys of Volumes..

Idk if they even remember this but February 2013 they stopped during a blizzard and put on a local show for us here in Kansas City in a small church, and to date…one of the dopest shows I’ve ever been too. Thank you for doing that if you read this far, and rest in power Diego 🤘🏻

This song is really beautiful

[@bebetofandi6431]

Finally Myke is going back to his own habitat. Please give this guy more chances, his clean vocal is golden. 👏👏👏

[@NimbusHex]

Who would've thought that Myke would be the glue that held the band together when he came in? Such an amazing, and somewhat bizarre journey he has been on in Volumes. Came in to mostly be the clean vocalist, slowly started screaming more, and is now the main screaming vocalist while Barr is the main clean vocalist.

[@Bageesh4]

This is a perfect mix of new Volumes and Via vibes. Damn this is great!

[@aurora8749]

What you're describing as empty you shouldn't. What you mean is you feel like a void in you. A deep sadness that can be physically felt. When a psychiatrist hears you say you feel empty they think you mean it's an absence of feelings that they associate with sociopaths. I used to describe my depression that way too until I found out how psychiatrists were misunderstanding. I'm sorry you feel that heavy sadness.
