Questions
We create this illusion that we’ve found
We’ve traveled far but yet we always seem to be around
Had a life but somehow it went missing
We say a lot but no one ever listens
Justify the behavior that we hate
Ignore the anger ‘cause it’s far too much to contemplate
Are you thinking that it’s really almost over
Like a kid mourning over their lost summer
Chorus
And so I guess it’s over now
They say that the suffering is done
Look ahead at the life that we created
Gone like a breath and our lungs just have not yet filled again
You tell the lies just to see just they’ll hit me
Do what we can with the choices we’ve been given
Chorus
And so I guess it’s over now
They say that the suffering is done
But still I have some questions
Did it take all this to make the answers known
Solo
Chorus
Broken Too
I feel so broke down Are you broken too?
Perhaps it’s what you choose
But the arch of the story has taken a turn
So please just say what did this to you
What did you mean by forgiveness
And for whom did you mean it applies?
Not sure at all that it’s in me
But for you I can certainly lie
I feel so broken and you’re broken too
Imperfect and beautiful still
No need to avoid all the secrets
When they’re the things that brought me to you
Infinite Here
I can be so sure
But so very wrong
But It’s already too late
And the jokes gone too far
Many Thanks for believing
In the stories I tell
Still you need reassurance
So you buy what I sell
Chorus
You loved me anyway
Unfinished and broken
But you loved me anyway
I lost many days there
Full of worry and fear
Lake that swims like the ocean
It feels infinite here
Bridge
We make pictures from clusters of stars
And assign them all meaning
As if it all mattered
We make stories from those that are gone
And assign them all meaning
As if it all mattered
