I can see it in your eyes they're greying
Is that you inside
These pictures and sentiments are the things
Keeping you alive
If this is what makes me pray to something I can't see
So be it
I'll believe that I need this
Just make it out alright
I know you're not coming home.
Wait
Give us more time
Wait
Put your hand in mine
Wait
There has to be something else to
Try
If this is life then leave it
If this is what's in store then keep it.

My God
Just wait
It goes on and on
My God
Just wait
You're not who we thought you were
The words you said made me
A slave in my own bed
But it goes on and on and on
How do you sleep so well at night
When I'm fighting off
Daylight
Daylight
You're not who I thought you were
But is there something that I'm missing
Is there something you're not saying
But you're not who I thought you were
There's strings we've tangled between
What we want and what we need
But it goes on and on and on
These lights are a signal
I'm racing up the stairs
Only to realize
You were never there

Worn to weakness

You're showing cracks
In your foundation
What once was so secure
Seems a chisel away
From crumbling
But let's retrace our decisions
And our mistakes
We turn it around
100 times
To try to pin the blame
But let's retrace
Our decisions
And our mistakes
When there's no answer
To ease what
Was taken away
Better days
They push further and further away
60 years this has been a home
Pick up what's left on your own
We build routines to make it easy to be alone
The stairs are worn to weakness
Just enough to hold
The cupboards that used to touch the sky
Have rusted over time
The house may be standing
But it gets
Harder to see
Every time
I'll carry the weight
Every time
I'll carry the weight
I'll carry the weight
Every time
We'll all see
This won't be
Kept up over time
We'll slide back
To When
We were comfortable
The burden is passed
So casually

Graveyard Watch

There's no
Obvious explanation
That we're looking for
There's no
Way around it this time
We're pushing through that door
I watch you crumble in my hands
Like a castle made of sand
The waves they crash it
They're relentless
They're crushing you and me
They're relentless
I can see you weakening
We're so afraid
We will never be the men our fathers made
We're so afraid
We'll never be the sons our mothers made
Would you give it up
If you had to
Mail in your hopes and dreams
Like they had to
Would you give it up
If you had to
For a chance at something more
Work every night
From midnight to nine
Only to provide
You're a better man then I
