"Restore Me" lyrics

There was a time when I believed in myself
But those days are over, I'm overwhelmed
No reason to fight for a world that couldn't care less
If I'm alive or if I'm dead

I'm a lighthouse in the ocean
With all the bulbs burnt out
I'm an Amaryllis wilting
In the middle of a drought
I'm a statue in a mausoleum
Name engraved in silt
I'm a hopeless romantic
That's the way that I was built

Remember all the times we shared
Well I hope that it was worth it
Every pleasure, every pain
If there's a God out there somewhere
Well I hope He can restore me
To the man I was before I lost my way

I'm a flame that's all but faded
Feels like the walls are caving in
I was jaded and pissed
Overworked so I quit
I couldn't atone for all my sins
Now there's a lighthouse built before me
Showing me everything I wanna believe
But I'm a criminal
Too stressed, I feel subliminal
Just tryna make it through the goddamn day

I pray you found a way back to solid ground

Remember all the times we shared
Well I hope that it was worth it
Every pleasure, every pain
If there's a God out there somewhere
Well I hope He can restore me
To the man I was before I lost my way

I'll get this off of my chest
I've been waiting for a sign
'Cause I'm giving up, giving up slowly
I ain't got no peace of mind
You're on the outside
And I'm looking in
When you're giving up, giving up slowly
There's no way to win

There was a time when I believed that the world
Was ready to be saved, well I was wrong
If you read this a thousand years from now
This song is a gift to the misled
