Lyrics - 

Verse 1:
Live my life with good intent
Still it seems I'm chasing my shadow
Day by day just hanging on 
By a thread, a star, a hope
And the world will bring your to your knees
Just a symptom of their disease
And they'll push and pull and knock you down
Just to say they got one over

Chorus: 
The ground beneath us pulls
But you know I would never you left fall
Sometimes I feel
Like there is nowhere left to turn at all 

There's always something to run from
There's always someone

Verse 2:
And I speak my peace with no regret
You learn to give as good as you get
And they tell you yes when they mean no 
Try to force you through their mold
Yeah, the world will kick you in the teeth
Spilling blood all for a belief
And they'll laugh and spit and call you out
Just to fill your heart with doubt

Chorus:
The ground beneath us pulls
But you know I would never let you fall
Sometimes I feel
Like there is nowhere left to turn at all

Bridge:
All the yesterdays
Still bleeding in my brain 
The promises we make
Get lost and thrown away
