MAYCOMB LYRICS

"Whatever Happens, Happens"

Former self disavowed, the worst is over now
Here’s to the end of my descension; I raise my glass to you
Kept in the dark for so long, convinced that I belonged down in the dirt
Broke, cold, inert; I resigned myself to lose
You never can tell when the tides are gonna change
So you hold your breath and hope that fate shines your way

Until that day, the dark awaits
And you are the one who must find a way out on the waves
Though it feels like the light’s been lost, let hope remain
The darkest of nights still bring the day
It takes as long as it takes

I’m not saying that there aren’t marks on my past
I’m not proud of when I look back
But those days are dead now; at least a bad year is something to sing about
I played dead for too long; the worst days brought me the best songs
And I found words to throw the earth, and bury that cursed ruse
But you never can tell when the tides are gonna change
So hold your breath ‘til that day

Come back stronger
(You’ll get what you deserve)
Come back stronger
(I’ve learnt that lesson)
So pick yourself up off the ground
(It takes as long as it takes)
You’ve lived through worse things
(I’ve seen the world in tones of grey)
So pick yourself up off the ground
(It takes as long as it takes)
You’ve lived through worse things, you’ll get through this day
The dark awaits, and you are the one who must find a way out on the waves

You’ll chase the dark away when you are the one who must find a way out on the waves
Though it feels like the light’s been lost, let hope remain
The darkest of nights still bring the day
It takes what it takes
Until that day, the dark awaits…
