late last night while i lay still
my arms pressed on the window sill
i dreamed a dream of better times
when lights they flashed behind your eyes
i don't regret what i've become
but i do regret what i can't be
there with you lying still praying up to
god instead to take me
and as you fade away
i'm holding in the world
sometimes i feel like i'm superman
with a heart of steel just like my old man
but most times i'm just scared to death to think
of you inside of this whole mess
and i hope that you were proud to be
the one that took so much shit from me
and i hope to god someday soon
we'll see that all your suffering
is just a dream
and as you fade away
i'm holding in the world
the lights don't shine anymore
