"Buying Time" lyrics

"Buying Time"

Thought the praying, would make it better
But I swear to God I'm just as lost as ever
Thought the bottle, would hold me over
It still hurt me just as bad when I got sober

Everyone around me's found a way to let it go
But I can't help but focus on the things I can't control

All the darkness in my mind
Pain that I can't leave behind
I know there's a silver line that I can't see
All the cold and sleepless nights
Running out of ways to fight
I know there's a morning light in my reach
If I keep buying time

I stopped going out to bars
I quit smoking
Thought that giving that all up would keep me going
I got over, people pleasing
I quit falling into love that had no meaning

I could search forever for a peace I'll never know
But I can't help but focus on the things I can't control

All the darkness in my mind
Pain that I can't leave behind
I know there's a silver line that I can't see
All the cold and sleepless nights
Running out of ways to fight
I know there's a morning light in my reach
If I keep buying time

There's a storm inside my dreams
I'm still standing on two feet
Let the current carry me
When the water gets too deep

All the darkness in my mind
Pain that I can't leave behind
I know there's a silver line that I can't see
All the cold and sleepless nights
Running out of ways to fight
I know there's a morning light in my reach
If I keep buying time
