Worth It 03:56
Waking up you slip into the role All of your foundations built on stories you were told Baggage shed so you can make it home Still your face is smiling as you go And I hope it's worth it to hear those words, cause they're all that you'll have left When a light is shone and you're all alone you can know you did your best Well done You made it through, you never faltered Well done You've lived the best life that I've ever seen Fallen friends to the left and to the right Those who were too weak and had no stomach for the fight Best if we don't even speak their names The weeds will have to be cut down so the garden can remain It'll all be clear when the game is done and they see how wrong they were When they call for help and there's no reply you'll be glad you were so sure Well done You made it through, you never faltered Well done You've lived the best life that I've ever seen Sad sometimes to take the highest path Up so high it's hard to see the moments as they pass Run the race as if you want to win Close your eyes, take one more step, don't ask what might have been Look at the way that they live (such were some of you) How could they be so deceived? They think they're happy but they don't know what you know You can tell yourself there'll be no regret, that it's worth it for the prize But you'll never know what a stranger sees when they look into your eyes Well done You made it through, you never faltered Well done You've lived the best life that I've ever seen

Open Mind 02:28
Not your first time to the dance but they laugh when you try to cut in Till now thought you were ready to go That's fine, leave it to chance, no one can tell what you've been Seems like maybe they don't want to know You've got an open mind, open mind, open mind to say the things that you do But after all this time, all this time, all this time how could I ever think the best of you? Still there to say that you've gone, the circles wound too tight to break In your head everyone's looking at you Feels dark but the lights are still on, some things are harder to shake One more time is enough to make your thoughts come true You've got an open mind, open mind, open mind to say the things that you do But after all this time, all this time, all this time how could I ever think the best of you?

When surfaces wrinkle and tear and I see underlying reality When I finally think to wonder why Can I ever own up to the dangling questions that hover in front of me Can I look for an answer and is it even right to try You can never catch the wind in the palm of your hand You can never catch the wind There was a time I had a dream I held inside Until I felt it slip away When it feels like it's further than ever When it's taken away altogether Never get it right as long as there's nothing left to lose Thinking over remembered emotion Till it seems like a trivial notion It can be a hell when you live the way you choose But I looked down from the mountain and I saw the fallen trees Tried to walk on holy ground but I never felt at ease You can say the time is wasted, you can say the path is wrong Say anything you want to when you say it all alone After all of the trouble we've taken to make up the faces we're living in And the promise of paradise we have found It's bitter to swallow but honestly seems like the only solution Cause all I wanted to do was to burn that city to the ground You can never catch the wind in the palm of your hand You can never catch the wind There was a time I had a million ways to hide But now I've thrown them on the fire When the world you created is ending There's no reason to keep on pretending Not as good as it was when you thought you knew the way If believing is better than knowing Then you can't even tell where you're going What kind of a life will you lead when you don't know the nighttime from the day But I looked down from the mountain and I saw the fallen trees Tried to walk on holy ground but I never felt at ease You can say the time is wasted, you can say the path is wrong Say anything you want to when you say it all alone

This society takes its toll on you Lock the doors and just keep rolling through Guess you feel like shutting out the past will make it easy Look around but you find no sympathy Dysfunctional like your family Friends are there with open arms but you see what you want to see No fun when the truth comes crashing in Are you real and have you ever been How was I supposed to know the things you never told me That avenue looks so sad to me Sliding faster but you laugh at gravity I know what comes before a fall and I know what the end will be You say you want to end the war And you'll keep fighting even harder just to make it sure The bodies add up one by one And you don't seem to mind but some things just can't be undone Her culture seems so degenerate You're tolerant make no point of it But a little gratitude's the least that she could show you Look at all of those favors you did for me Trust rewarded, no trauma no injury Still I can't bring myself to feel like I should owe you You say it's all a waste of time That I'd be happier just looking out for me and mine And your advice sounds pretty sure But you're not me, and you're not mine, careful what you ask for You pray for peace You pray for peace You pray for peace You pray for peace That voice is just one more thing to miss Don't need a doctor I need an exorcist If you try to rule by fear then peace is an illusion

Had that dream again, saw you the way you were Before everything had changed before I knew But those days are gone Was it all the fight, or could you have known the truth Cause I'm feeling some deja vu, you say those words That somebody said before Won't ever get the best of you Take it the way you always do Heartbroken, sick with all you've seen and all you've guessed Not enough to hide from this mess One last time tonight, don't have to say goodbye Cause we never said hello, just fake a smile It's easy to let me go What if it didn't end this way What if it could have been okay What if the lies were really true, can you take that risk Can you say you're happier like this Some day you might know what you missed

Remembering 03:01
I watched you fall into those traps you've laid you played along And now you're here nobody looks at you what took you through is Woven into patterns with the thread that you were given And you're waiting for tomorrow yeah you're waiting for the living Maybe one more day will make it okay You believe you believe anything until you Growing up like you did must have been so hard Couldn't see couldn't say could only make it so far When you try to run and hide, make it outside How could you help but to be a true believer Every now and then think about her face Sometimes you can't remember all the nights and days Sometimes I think you're better off that way Cause it's not worth remembering Not worth remembering Not worth remembering Not worth remembering Still those bones rattle their hold on you is through but now you Can't let go holding them tighter like you don't know how to Look me in the eye you give me some blank stare And I'm waiting for tomorrow yeah I'm hoping you'll be there It's a joke to you so what you wanna do If we can't if we can't agree we both know Is the past your home or is it your hell Say you miss it but I know that you aren't feeling very well While I watch the story grow, while you make a show I can't take it if you're lying to yourself again Now it's over dead and gone and it's a brand new day But you're thinking of the things that you wanted to say Are you really any better since you went away Cause it's not worth remembering Not worth remembering Not worth remembering Not worth remembering

Alive 04:32
Bracing for the storm, look into her eyes They're looking back at you When the music starts, sway with the sound Is all she wants to do When the winter falls, when the fire dies Don't be afraid to start again Hope that you won't go through it all alone Hope that you always have a friend Not so hard to keep the faith when faith is all you've ever known Safer not to open up that door You know it's been a long way to fall Long way to fall Never thought that I would have to run from home But I'm glad that when I did I didn't do it alone Long way to fall I seem upset but I, too far I've taken things If I could say it but then I'll try tomorrow when I'm not so shaken and she won't ask for alibis I hope the stitches show I hope it's not for nothing Can't take so much just to see, I know that wasn't me I'm in control of my, I was in control of my-- Uncharted waters ahead, I don't care what they said I promise, until we We see the stars again I'm doing well in fact without my soul intact I hope I, I think I am finding something better The break is less than it was, forever's not such a loss To see who we could become, a lifetime, a lifetime You know it's been a long way to fall Long way to fall Never thought that I would have to run from home but I'm glad that when I did I didn't do it alone Long way to fall And I will fall with you
