Fearless J - The Tunnel Lyrics

Hoping against hope
When there isn't hope you have to believe there will be some down the road
In this life there's always the chance to make wrongs right
Just have to fight
And pray that one day you'll see the light
In due time
I'm stuck in a tunnel this life had me pummeled
The reaper it dug me a grave with shovel
God knows that I've struggled but that keeps me humble
And gives the motivation to keep hustling
I'm seeing the light and a distant respite
To get there I must never give up and just fight
So I paid all my fines and I dodged my demise
Which means now it is time I look inward and rise
Pour one to dodge the shame
Light one up so I can feel great
But then I come down and I'm back to the same
And I rinse and repeat until I am insane
Fiend for the love, fiend for attention
Push and I shove, want more affection
But deep down inside I know it's a reflection
Of a hole in my heart that just keeps me dependent
Grasping at straws, it worsens my flaws
So many wrongs, they lurk and they haunt
But then I look up to the skies and ask God
For some hope that I can just make it to the dawn
My life they prolong, lead me along
And I channel everything I have into song
So that one day when I am gone
Something lasts beyond
I'm stuck in a tunnel this life had me pummeled
The reaper it dug me a grave with shovel
God knows that I've struggled but that keeps me humble
And gives the motivation to keep hustling
I'm seeing the light and a distant respite
To get there I must never give up and just fight
So I paid all my fines and I dodged my demise
Which means now it is time I look inward and rise
I look inward and rise look I just wanna shine
And I know I won't get there with complaining and whines
So I pray to the skies that a chance comes my way
To ascend past the petty shit and all the snakes
That I've let bring me down until I fell in this cave
Tired of feelin like a clown and repressing my rage
So I just take a bow and surrender my fate
To the will of the clouds to just show me the way
I'll focus on what I can change
No more self pity, I won't complain
Just keep moving the chains
Takin this life day by day
Have all my goals in my hands
Makin the most of my second chance
I know if I just stay away from the sand
That I can change the planet
I'm stuck in a tunnel this life had me pummeled
The reaper it dug me a grave with shovel
God knows that I've struggled but that keeps me humble
And gives the motivation to keep hustling
I'm seeing the light and a distant respite
To get there I must never give up and just fight
So I paid all my fines and I dodged my demise
Which means now it is time I look inward and rise
When I look inward I see someone who's suffering
But life is suffering
And despite the pain I'm doing great things
Just have to keep staying clean
And surround myself with people doing the same
Law of attraction
I know what to do it's just a matter of doing it, on God

Hoping against hope
When there isn't hope you have to believe there will be some down the road
In this life there's always the chance to make wrongs right
Just have to fight
And pray that one day you'll see the light
In due time
I'm stuck in a tunnel this life had me pummeled
The reaper it dug me a grave with shovel
God knows that I've struggled but that keeps me humble
And gives the motivation to keep hustling
I'm seeing the light and a distant respite
To get there I must never give up and just fight
So I paid all my fines and I dodged my demise
Which means now it is time I look inward and rise
Pour one to dodge the shame
Light one up so I can feel great
But then I come down and I'm back to the same
And I rinse and repeat until I am insane
Fiend for the love, fiend for attention
Push and I shove, want more affection
But deep down inside I know it's a reflection
Of a hole in my heart that just keeps me dependent
Grasping at straws, it worsens my flaws
