Defeat Statistics Lyrics

So many days that I've wasted, dulling my senses instead of tasting.
Give me 20-20 and I still couldn't see, through anger inside of me,
at this life, so far from fair. My goals, so far from where I was.

Torn up with frustration. No direction. Lashing out at everything,
burning my life bridge by bridge. Alone, and like smoke, I couldn't fight it.
But at my most short-sighted, your words remind me, they

could not be any clearer. Staring back at me from a broken mirror.
Seven years gone. I miss your eyes. Unclench my fists. Help me to find

My way. A way to build and not just break. A solid foundation
that will not shake. Tear down the walls inside us all. Brick by brick.
Rebuild this life. I will defeat statistics.

Your words could not be any clearer. You couldn't be any nearer.Death Is Not Glamorous - Defeat Statistics - http://motolyrics.com/death-is-not-glamorous/defeat-statistics-lyrics.html
To me, right now. Your words are gone, but they echo loud.
They resonate. They bear repeating.

You pulled me close, close enough that I could swear
I could smell the smoke in your lungs. You told me,
'A selfish life is a lonely one.' And I'm alone, but I hope I find
a way to build without breaking. A way to give without taking.
A way to stand without shaking. I'm shaking solid foundations into dust.
Into smoke in your lungs. You pulled me close, close enough that I could swear..
I felt you.

And I'm alone, but I know if you were here, you'd be there for me.
Avoid a life in distance. I will defeat statistics.
You pulled me close. You told me, 'there is no life in distance.'
Embrace the ones you hold dear. Hold the ones you love near.
