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 just 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 its 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 I whisper, sometimes shout

And until they're heard

I'm never going home

I fell for the bait again
