lyrics

I woke up sweating in a place I've known forever, anchored down when I should be higher than smoke. 'Cause I got old with the notion that there's some good left in your song. But as I listen to this room, I don't know if we've got the strength to face this.

So if you're still around, 100 years from now, I wanna know: where was I supposed to look? And if you're still around, you can tell me what we're waiting for. 'Cause it's more than dying, I'm sure.

I felt the rain against my back, like it's the only thing I have. So if you're dead again, is this really what it's all for? This isn't home; it's hatred, and it's graying me a little every day. But I inhale either way.

So when I needed answers to my doubts, I looked to Peter, but found the pages stuck together. And every Sunday after makes me ask: "Why do I still go, while my soul still starves alone?"
