It's only up from here.
And though it's so slowly been falling down, inevitably it will come around.
The end justifies the means.
I'm not grieving for the losses that I've counted through the years.
And I'm not dwelling on my fears.
These are the tales of a tiny existence.
Let it be known that my words are resistant.
Existence has no intermissions,
except death, which I hear is permanent.
I made my name, made it from pure defiance.
I felt no shame, 'cause confidence killed the tyrant.
I'm hanging on, despite that death is permanent.
These are the tales of a tiny existence.
Let it be known that my words are resistant.
Existence has no intermissions,
except death, which I hear is permanent.
Everything is crashing down.
I've been so lost for so long.
Now look where I stand; what have I become?
This is a part of me, and I deserve it all.
I took the world in stride but I fell behind.
I never thought that I could see hope,
but my feet belong to the ground, and my life to the world.
Existence has no intermissions.
Nothing can take that away;
so here's to hoping.
I can't believe my eyes;
so here's to hoping.
I only want to make you proud;
so here's to hoping.
It's only up from here;
so here's to hoping.
