| Song | I’ll Find A Way |
| Artist | Zack Hemsey |
| Album | Empty Room |
| Verse 1: | |
| I heard they found a way to no set place | |
| That they’re way ahead and winning but there’s no real race | |
| And they’re feeding on the thrill of a chase | |
| When they’ll never find a way to keep the pace | |
| I heard they found a way to build our dreams | |
| Can they engineer a world in which we hear no screams | |
| And I heard that they can make vaccines | |
| But our sick routine isn’t keen to relieve | |
| I heard they found a way to see through walls | |
| Do they have the sight to see my scars | |
| And can they find a way to view who we are | |
| Or does such vision just exist in the far | |
| And can incisions ever fix all the vying that persists | |
| Can a needle cure the evil through the arm | |
| I’m told they have the means to travel to the stars | |
| But can’t journey to the start of the savage in our hearts | |
| So if I’m ravaged and afraid | |
| Damaged and apart, tired of charades | |
| How can I clear the smoke that billows | |
| Wade through to cope and chisel out a life that’s worthy and of praise | |
| Chorus: | |
| My whole life’s passing me by | |
| As I sit and wonder why | |
| I’ll find a way | |
| Verse 2: | |
| They say tomorrow brings a brighter day | |
| But do they know about the sorrow that’s beyond the fray | |
| Do they see all of the madness that man obeys | |
| And can they understand that sadness won’t go away | |
| But it’s okay cuz the truth is I’m feeling whole | |
| Feeling like the emptiness inside has found a home | |
| And I’m hopeful that my destiny is one of heights | |
| One in which the apathy in me no longer strikes | |
| And I wonder how this ending has come to pass | |
| When just yesterday was carefree and full of laughs | |
| But if there’s certainty in anything it’s what we have | |
| Is but impermanent cuz no thing will always last | |
| Yet still I can’t help but question fate | |
| Can’t shake the feeling that I hold the key to great escape | |
| And I feel in me a yearning that still endures | |
| A spirit wandering and eager now to find a cure | |
| Believe me this is pure essence | |
| Pure intention | |
| It goes beyond mere conversation and confession | |
| It’s much too vague to formulate into expression | |
| But perhaps there’s something greater that we’ve all been set in | |
| And this is not to say I know the way | |
| This is not to say attachment’s been put away | |
| This is not to say my love for you’s been held at bay | |
| And I don’t possess or know a simple route to change | |
| But it is to say I hold you close | |
| And it is to say the love in me is more than most | |
| And it is to say your absence has left it’s mark | |
| But I tell myself this plays within a bigger part | |
| Now you are not the only way to make me whole | |
| Know that I won’t ever turn my heart to stone | |
| You are not the only way to make me whole | |
| And I won’t ever turn my heart to stone | |
| And I’ll find a way | |
| Verse 3: | |
| I’m not without a spirit that can hold up to the torture | |
| Not without a will to stop the cycle that marauders | |
| Not without a mind to free the hate within my border | |
| And to cleanse the vessel into which my consciousness is ordered | |
| I’m not afraid of monsters that intimidate and taunt ya | |
| Not afraid to challenge all the violence and slaughter | |
| The leviathans that haunt are hardly deadly out of water | |
| I’ll find a way to offer the elixir of disorder | |
| So many trails have crossed the rivers forged from all our tears | |
| So many paths have left us all alone during these years | |
| So many that we’ve lost but I can feel their presence near | |
| I can see a road ahead that leads beyond the known frontier | |
| So lift yourself up slowly and rest your eyes upon me | |
| And let the sad and lonely float away and disappear | |
| And leave the guilt and shame and all the anger and the fear | |
| Lets trade it for the will to find a way to persevere | |
| Chorus | |
| Verse 4: | |
| How long can I surrender for | |
| How deep can my descending bore | |
| How long can I neglect me for | |
| How long is this confinement for | |
| How long can I arrest me for | |
| How long can I detain me for | |
| How long before I stray off course | |
| How long before all hope is lost | |
| How long can one survive among the horror | |
| Live among the demons that all seethe in darkened corners | |
| Cling to all the grief released in tidal waves upon ya | |
| Proclaim it isn’t fair, content to bear forever mourner | |
| This moment is in order | |
| Now let the waters pass | |
| Let the smoldered ash remain beside the olden past | |
| Leave it on behalf of those who crave to hear you laugh | |
| And walk among the living as you find a way to last | |
| How long can I survive this for | |
| How long can I abate this for | |
| How long can I remain this strong | |
| Well how long can I just sing this song | |
| I’ll find a way |
