Crooked Path

When we were young and indifferent we could not have known
This world will chew you up and spit you out on your own
What’s this holding you back
What’s the weight of the world on your back
So long, you sink into gravity
Is there someone telling you no
Do you want to know where to go
What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for
I’m reaching out please take my hand
The water is getting higher and I can’t understand
Why I can’t pull you in
Do you even care
Do you even want me there
We are the victims of
Instead we cling to the past with an iron grip
As we fall fast asleep
Dreaming of security
The we define
wasted
My world is dead
Trying to keep my head
I’m broke it hurts
And I’m still feeling
What’s this holding you back
Have you had to cover your tracks so long
You lost your identity
Is there something dragging you down
Crippled onto the weight of the ground
What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for
I’m reaching out please take my hand
The water is getting higher and I can’t understand
Why I can’t pull you in
Do you even care
Do you even want me there
Through all of our differences
I always said I’d be there if you should come undone
It took all I had in me
Do you even care
Do you even want me there
(Do you even want me there)
There are ghosts in every window
And they’ll follow you back home
But if you stay a moment
I can tell you all I know
Of how these times have changed us
How they bring us to our knees
How they send us down the crooked path
To fight us temporarily
I’m reaching out please take my hand
The water is getting higher and I can’t understand
Why I can’t pull you in
Do you even care
Do you even want me there
I swear I’m sorry, I swear I’ll do better
I never thought we’d have to carry this weight together
This is
And it kills me to say that I really need you here
