Lyrics

Every face Tells a tale And the lines from his Form a path that leads From his mouth To his eyes Maps traced through time Every wince, a window Revealing new roads Implementing the flesh As tales untold And I know all your new friends Will read your face like a book They’ll see where you’ve been Judging by the way you look And they’ll see what you have done Was it worth it To desert this And leave it all behind? (I hope you) I hope you (I hope you) I hope you find something That makes it worth your Time to be alive Cold long years Etched in stone Tied to ropes hung From his shoulders In knots he surely tied himself Weighed him down As he trudged on Dragging the stone Through our home Marring everything I’d ever known Can’t you see, you were never Meat to be that man You were never meant to have tied Your past around your hands. Carbon date the bones you wrought You dug it up but there’s not burying it now Was it worth it To desert this And leave it all behind? (I hope you) I hope you (I hope you) I hope you find something That makes it worth your Time to be alive Carved our names Into that stone You bare the weight Of all the lies That you have sown I know you care And you worked hard (But you used lies to mix the mortar Never speaking from the heart) (I hope you... I hope you learn) Was it worth it To desert this (And leave it all behind?) (I hope you) I hope you (I hope you) I hope you find something That makes it worth your Time to be alive
