One thousand words
Even more misgivings
All the excuses
For the lives we're living
Never adding up to the sum of their parts
Pressing on like this, never getting too far
The wasted efforts denied
Second chances lost inside
The mix of hate and nothing
Fool ourselves into something
Pure and whole
If only in our minds
Losing control
A step behind
If I had the answers
And the reasons
Stuck entranced here
Between the seasons
All the lust and greed
Any normal person could ever need
Passing on, and over, and through
All the while acting like we never knew
Even more misgivings
All the excuses
For the lives we're living
Never adding up to the sum of their parts
Pressing on like this, never getting too far
The wasted efforts denied
Second chances lost inside
The mix of hate and nothing
Fool ourselves into something
Pure and whole
If only in our minds
Losing control
A step behind
If I had the answers
And the reasons
Stuck entranced here
Between the seasons
All the lust and greed
Any normal person could ever need
Passing on, and over, and through
All the while acting like we never knew
