Its a long way down To the bottom of the darkest holes Where I can see the things that I've done With clarity I can't ignore The sound of consequence and ignorance Can be so soft Or silent if you let it Oh, Lord of ages My head is a mess Give me strength to learn this lesson Grant me the sleep that I long to get And when I'm at the bottom How I pray that I will mend Maybe then I'll stop to see you There is no growth if there's no rest Its a long way up To the point where I can finally breathe Where I can see t he things that I will become When I live like life's suppose to be If I could only get out of my own way. Oh, Lord of ages My head is a mess Give me strength to learn this lesson Grant me the sleep that I long to get And when I'm at the bottom How I pray that I will mend Maybe then I'll stop to see you There is no growth if there's no rest All I ever wanted was a good night's rest And now I've found That I'm here for a reason All of these things I've begun One day I will complete them Oh, Lord of ages My head is a mess Give me strength to learn this lesson Grant me the sleep that I long to get And when I'm at the bottom How I pray that I will mend Maybe then I'll stop to see you There is no growth if there's no rest

I've heard all that you have to say So stop pretending And let's let the truth be told I'm sure you'd put your foot over my neck and press For the right reward Does anyone here even appreciate commitment anymore? I've been used And you're a mess And I'd rather resist all your benefits Then prove I'm a man of pure intent But you're a beautiful trophy Nothing more, nothing less Does anyone here even appreciate commitment anymore? So cut me open And hang me out to dry I've come to find, you're reckless And I'm bound without forgiveness Or come and save me Prove that your life isn't a lie Maybe I should take my own medicine And learn to live without your consequence But either way its too late We're too late Either way its too late But either way its too late We're too late Either way its too late

I'm surprised at what you give I expected honesty But its out of my control As you could never show all the things you hid away from me One day we'll find how To live with things we'd die without. Because we'll never know Yeah we will never know We will never know the worth of water Till the well runs This is all on the tip of my tongue But I'll lay silently Knowing that one man's wisdom Is another man's, insincerity One day we'll find out The things we've learned about ourselves Because we'll never know Yeah we will never know We will never know the worth of water Till the well runs dry. Because we'll never know Yeah we' will never know We will never know the worth of water Till the well runs dry. Oh God, if we never find the things that we can't live without How will we ever find ourselves? Is ignorance still bliss Is ignorance still bliss or will we run it dry?

How can a man so full of love be empty? And why can't I practice what I preach? I've come to realize that the things I will accept I turn around to teach And that's where the problem lies I've found the devil in all my friends And I'm accepted Here's the simple truth No one knows you like me And lately I've been thinking I've felt all that I've come to believe in And that's where the problem lies In my history's extent Those conversations that we've shared Mirror my intent And that's where I've been That's where I've been That's where I've been Lost in my own intent If we are only as good as the company we keep Than maybe my honesty leads me to sleep alone But that's the way I choose to live Read like a book that's been left wide open That's the way I choose to live Transparent and without regret I've found the devil in all my friends And I'm accepted

Just put me to bed Cause that's where I always wind up When I've lost my head Wondering if I'll help myself Don't talk too soon But I'm a problem solver and I'd rather ease your doubts When you say you need room Why don't the softest landings help the hardest truths come out? Who am I Who am I to have such high demands? Cause its been useless to expect For you to give me the things that you don't have If I'm always the potter, darling You know you've got to score yourself like clay I'm not opposed to molding you But in ways don't you think that we both should change? Who am I Who am I to have such high demands? Cause its been useless to expect For you to give me the things that you don't have My human nature hopes that you're burning in hell While grace speaks my mind that this finds you well Failure always goes In one ear and out the other Who am I Who am I to have such high demands? Cause its been useless to expect For you to give me the things that you don't have Things that you don't, have Things that you don't, have Things that you don't, have
