lyrics

Take my hand or come with me now
What’s the cost of judging that you cannot feel?
And I peer through the windy plains with my sense of blatant luck
I can control no longer
This ship is on its way to hell

This is the soundtrack to that beaten path that we’ve constructed
I won’t let anybody shake me

My life’s been smothered by the rain
And I have no one left to blame but it’s all that I can do
We all were obviously framed
So just take another look at all the evidence in front of you
Since when do we control our lives?
I’ll travel endlessly ‘til I decide

I know everybody’s out to get me

Tell me how it feels now to make it almost all the way without accomplishing nearly anything
And I know there’s no reason why you’re falling through the outer skies

This is the soundtrack to that beaten path that we’ve constructed
I won’t let anybody shake me
Free falling down
My lungs can’t grasp the air out this high
I won’t let anybody pass me

My life’s been smothered by the rain
And I have no one left to blame but it’s all that I can do
We all were obviously framed
So just take another look at all the evidence in front of you
Since when do we control our lives?
I’ll travel endlessly ‘til I decide
‘Til I decide

We’ll make more of what we have left
And try to question why the conclusion is always bittersweet
My voice is all I have
And I scream until the sun goes down as the rain starts to pour on my head

We lost what we didn’t have on a 20-to-1 longshot with a broken back
To kill me you must cover your tracks and try never to forget all that we had
We lost what we didn’t have on a 20-to-1 longshot, a 20-to-1 longshot
To kill me you must cover your tracks and try never to forget
