Grit my teeth for the final goodbye As the sun sets on Southway Drive A man who stared death straight in the eyes With the barrel of a gun and years gone by Such a hero (In my eyes) Never hoped to (Leave us behind) Well I know that the lights will be so bright For the next few nights Blinding me on my walk home Whether you hear me or not, I'll never know But I'm thankful for what I got Air so thin, grasping tight, Trying to fight back those tears in my eyes Thinking back to the words that you said And all of those lessons ringing through my head (Air so thin) I'm grasping tight (Air so thin) I'm grasping tight As word by word whistles "The weight of the world is nothing more than a fucking fraud"
