Punch Drunk Grinning Soul Lyrics

It took me everything I had
To give all that I could
Walk beside me while I sleep
Steer me from the slumber wolf
Tangled forest of the mind
Speaks to me self-despise
Close the window through the pane
Hear the siren's serenade

Could have been the comeback kid
The southpaw's legend glove to fill
No shadow boxer but the one
A true contender for the crown
Now this punch grinning soul
In it's corner begs 'no more'

[Chorus:]
Hey now, stay proud
You were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud
Hey now, stay proud
You were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud
But they hardly knew ya

The chambers echo never speaks
The rushin' tide devours my feet
No global warming fills this soul
For hell it freezes what it stole
From de beggar's empty plate
To our world that stuffs its' face

[Chorus:]
Hey now, stay proud
You were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud
Hey now, stay proud
You were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud
But they hardly knew ya

But these tired eyes are crashin' down on me
While the paint never dries
On these fours walls that nos suffocate me
But tonight, may be tonight
All will be free

Release, unlock this prison door
It can't hold me anymore
Serpent lied with sting of tale
Hand of reason rusts the nail
Now this punch drunk grinning soul
In it's corner begs 'no more'

[Chorus:]
Hey now, stay proud
You were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud
Hey now, stay proud
You were lost on a blue day
Hey now, stay proud
But they hardly knew ya
