Song Lyrics:

Things go wrong but they always get back
Not before they throw me way off track
But that's ok, windin' through the tangle,
Tryin to find an angle, find my way
Spend my time waiting for the sunshine
Everything will be fine you'll see
From the ashes and debris
Of things that didn't quite work out
Sometimes better things are found
All you have to do is look around
Through the darkness and the clouds
Shroud your view of what should be
You can always look to find
Things that, things that set you free

Not alone, lost in desperation,
Hopeless desolation you'll see
You get nowhere staring at the ceiling
The cracks, the paint is peeling so am I
Reach within then you can look outside
No need to stay here and hide
Behind semblances of smiles
That appear at you at every turn
Even sunny skies are lies
Blind you if you stare at them too long

There is sure a higher truth
Sometimes it must be torn away
From the things you can't control
Arise an order that unfolds

I wonder when luck will come to find me
Probably come and poke out both my eyes
To make me see that it's all illusion
Causing my confusion
Realize you get nowhere staring at the ceiling
The cracks the paint is peeling, so am I
