The Santtu Pesonen Project - Atlas Lyrics

Look at that boy out in the backyard
Playing by himself
Waiting for his dad to come home
Oblivious to the fact
That he may never come back
Such is the implication of leaving to buy cigarettes
And over the next 15 years
He grows to resent the man
Or maybe the target of his anger is himself
Waiting for someone to sit down and listen
Just like us, they only crave to be understood
Looking for acceptance in all the wrong places
Only ever finding tears and pain in solitude
Look at that girl
Mourning the loss of her grandfather
Singing and dancing the pain away
Such a nice man he was
Always looking out for everyone
Even the homeless guy that hangs out by the bar
She never got to apologize for the fight they had
And now she's out there
Expressing her sorrow the only way she ever knew
Waiting for someone to sit down and listen
Just like us, they only crave to be understood
Looking for acceptance in all the wrong places
Only ever finding tears and pain in solitude
And when the dark clouds gather in the sky
They both go looking for the silver line
Ignorant of the existence of their counterpart
But one cannot control what stimulates the heart
When the sky looks gray, it's going to rain
You can never know who will feel the pain
So just be as kind as you can to everyone
And in time, someone will return the favor
Until we come to terms with our past
And lock away the hate
We won't find peace
