fell for the bait again
fork in a road and one durance
and upon those stones i let out alone to find you
and i whisper like leaves in the wind
and an air so pure it could wash away sin
a message like a stranger we take kind to

and the night it sings to me
as i fall asleep
each breath slower than the last
a sweet low tire receives

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 shadow's cast
but will they last?

it's not that i don't believe
it's just that i'm so afraid to believe
if we could just stay here on the mountain pass
over the breeze

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

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 shadow's 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 we whisper, sometimes shout
and until they're her, i'm never going home

i fell for the bait again...
