[Intro]
I was born in this building
It was the first Tuesday I'd ever seen
And if I live to see tomorrow
It would be my Tuesday number: 2119
A life has its way of turning your best suits the wrong way
As if to smile and say: "I feast on the irony, my friend"
I'm "come what may"

[Verse 1]
And it might just be, my friend
This is your unlucky day
Will you change? What would you give to stay?
But I change, I honestly can't say
I have no promises to trade
For the Lord of "come what may"
To provide me with another day
Every promise that I make
Is a promise I might break

[Chorus 1]
The things we humans say to survive
The promises we make
The lies we tell, vows we take
The battles we all win to survive
Prices we will pay
But we don't know
We will lose one day


[Verse 2]
Life is a ride, they say
There are tickets I've never paid
I'm afraid there'll be no vow to take
For any god of "come what may
He won't let me live, he'll let me die
For what I am right here and now
Nothing more than all I am today
Close my eyes, I do not pray

Promises, they tempt me to
Will I change? I won't be that fool
Maybe for a day, a week, maybe two
I'm a dreamer, narcissist
Manchild that's confessed
The face of death won't make me an evangelist
I close my hands, not in prayer, not in prayer - into fists

[Pre-Chorus]
I lost the way

[Chorus 2]
The things we humans say to survive
The promises we make
The lies we tell, vows we take
The battles we all win to survive
Prices we will pay
But we will lose either way

[Bridge]
I lost the will
I lost the way
But haven't lost the faith
It's just lost in me

I lost the will
I lost the way
But haven't lost the faith
It's just lost in me

I lost the will
I lost the way
But haven't lost the faith
It's just lost in me

I lost the will

[Outro]
The things that we must save
To pretend this passing light of day
Is not the end, is not the end

The things that we all say to be safe
The things that we will trade
Just give away for one more day
We'll smile and tell sweet lies
To chase away the shadows that prey
Cast by the passing light of day
