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?

Catch the Wind
03:28

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

Always, Pt. 1
03:45
|

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

Always, Pt. 2
02:28

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

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
