Description
This song was written for all of the sick and suffering who have made it through what seemed impossible to evercome. I am a recovering addict and alcoholic. 147 days clean and sober today. This song is my story.
Lyrics
I saw hell in full flame Made it out but I’m not the same Life is not so bad once you’ve seen Through the eyes of the dying I caught a glimpse of the other side I never thought I’d make it out alive The pain don’t hurt so bad once you’ve seen Through the eyes of the dying I lost myself and found a brand new life Now the sun’s got a brighter shine Even angels envy those who see the light Through the eyes of the dying My old man put a gun against his head Wrote a letter saying goodbye pulled the trigger now he’s dead For years I often asked myself What was I supposed to learn from that? And not too long after we put him in the ground I followed in his footsteps and I drank until I drowned I know it might sound crazy but I’m glad I got to see what he saw I lost myself and found a brand new life Now the sun’s got a brighter shine Even angels envy those who see the light Through the eyes of the dying
