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.

A Beacon 03:43
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

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
4.
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
