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
