I fell for the bait again A fork in the road and one never ends... and upon those stones I lay out alone to find you... And a whisper like leaves in the wind, An air so pure it could wash away sin... A message like a stranger we take kind to
In the night it sings to me As I fall asleep Each breath slower than the last A sweet, low tide recedes
We can almost hear the choir Echoing down streets on fire Singing, \"Keep calm, restless world, this too shall pass.\" Are we all failures in disguise? For the dream we brought to life, From behind our name in lights Our shadows cast... But will they last?
It's not that I don't believe It's just that I'm so afraid to bleed. If we could jet stay on the mountain path, over debris So I can breathe again, So we can live like we lived back then, When these lakes were only puddles And these monsters were still men... 'Cause we are but saddled horses and they bet on every race But there's contempt bred in the stallion For the man that calls it's name!
We can almost hear the choir Echoing down streets on fire Singing, \"Keep calm, restless world, this too shall pass.\" Are we all failures in disguise? For the dream we brought to life, From behind our name in lights Our shadows cast... And feet don't fail me now There's a broken lonely town waiting somewhere down this empty road And lungs please don't give out Words and whispers never shout And until they're heard, I'm never going home...
