This grim reality casts a gloom in our hearts
 grim [bad word]  The night of death
 The day that life was cold
 Pleading in the moonlight 

 In the fullness of time we live and learn
 And we die soulless 

 This is not a dream
 This is only reality
 By and by you hear my words
 You can't deny morality 

 (Hold on), Hold on to your dreams
 Please don't let go
 Of life's distress
 (Hold on), Hold on to your dreams
 It makes you feel more alive 

 Inspired by a past of pain
 The only sense I have to make me alive 

 Life is hitting so hard,
 Without a [bad word] meaning
 This is my only shallow heart 

 Hold on
 Please don't let go
 Of life's distress
 Hold on
 It makes you feel more alive
