Yesterday I woke up mourning
Without a warning
Tears in my eyes
So aware all of a sudden
Of the burden of compromise

I’ve run so far away from
This simple life of laying low

If I ever want to be satisfied
If I’m ever gonna be found alive
I know it’ll have to mean I’ll have to die
So I’ll try, I’ll try

I’ve become part of the sadness
And I know it’s been my choice
Let me fall into the silence
And for a moment hear your voice

I have found the purpose
In the act of letting go
And I have come to love this
Simple life of laying low

Behind the Song:
'Learning to be unselfish is never an easy process. And as a band, this has never become more apparent as they spend the majority of its time with each other—in the studio, on the road, playing together onstage. “When you have to spend so much time with the same people, you start learning how to be unselfish,” Matt shares. “Of course, because of our friendship, that’s a bit easier. But ultimately, watching out for the needs of each other, rather than just our own, is essential for our survival.”' - Matt Minor (Grey Holiday)
