Story behind the song
A song about myself, really - I was unhappy with where I'd let my life go, so I decided to start chasing my dreams and make some changes.
Lyrics
Here I am, with a soul as empty
As the bottle in my hand
Here I stand, with a dream as fleeting
As a single grain of sand
Here I lie, in a bed of shattered
Memories that pierce my skin
Here I die, a broken man who's life
Did end before it could begin
These lines on the face in the mirror
Tell a tale of a soul who never tried
To do more than the very least;
To live not just survive
The thoughts in his head turned bitter
For he dared not speak his mind
The love in his heart did whither
In the weather like the leaf left out on the vine
Here I am, with a soul as empty
As the bottle in my hand
Here I stand, with a dream as fleeting
As a single grain of sand
Here I lie, in a bed of shattered
Memories that pierce my skin
Here I die, a broken man who's life
Did end before it could begin
The cracks in his knuckles on his hand
From fists always drawn closed and tight
The limp in his walk and the stutter in his talk
From too many sleepless nights
The smile on his face long vashished
Leaving in it's place a blank dispair
The glimmer in his eye turned grey
Focused on some intangible, hanging in the air
Don't look into these vacant eyes
To find the man I used to be
For he's dead and gone
I'm less a man and more, and more a memory
Here I am, a man who nearly
Lived the life described
Until I kicked the door in, walked right out
And let the light hit me is stride
I took the leap of faith, the first
Of many steps to change this man
And you can take or leave me
I don't give a damn
But if you ever were to need me,
Here I am
But if you ever were to need me,
Want to love me, hate me, bleed me,
Tear my world apart completely
Here I am
