summer heat on a cracked street line counting quiet just to pass the time the madness of sadness walks beside like a shadow i never outride it's a tough life trying to be reborn trying to drink myself sober but i'm only smoking telling the daylight i'll weather the storm while the weakness stays quietly spoken summer wind through the window blowing like it sees every crack i'm holding trying to drink myself sober but i'm only smoking but the sun keeps rising without asking and somewhere under the doubt i'm holding a heart still quietly hoping morning coffee and a shaking hand another promise i barely planned the bottle's gone but the silence stayed in the thin grey curl the lighter made it's a tough life trying to be reborn trying to drink myself sober but i'm only smoking covering cracks in the light of the morn hoping the truth stays softly unspoken summer sky wide and open but my hands still hide what i'm holding trying to drink myself sober but i'm only smoking and the road keeps stretching before me like the fight ain't over yet like the fight ain't over yet maybe rebirth is quiet and slow just learning what you already know maybe it's saying the quiet part true this fight ain't leaving you it's a tough life trying to be reborn trying to drink myself sober but i'm only smoking every new day like a fragile dawn every promise half unspoken summer wind through the wires humming like a song still slowly becoming trying to drink myself sober but i'm only smoking but the sun keeps burning above me and as long as the daylight's showing i know the fight keeps going.
