Restless World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I fell for the bait again
A fork in the road and one never ends
And upon those stones I lay out alone to find you
And a whisper like leaves in the wind
An air so pure it could wash away sin
A message like a stranger we take kind to
In the night it sings to me
As I fall asleep
Each breath slower than the last
A sweet, low tide recedes
We can almost hear the choir
Echoing down streets on fire
Singing
Keep calm, restless world, this too shall pass
Are we all failures in disguise?
For the dream we brought to life
From behind our name in lights
Our shadows cast
But will they last?
It's not that I don't believe
It's just that I'm so afraid to bleed
If we could just stay on the mountain path, over debris
So I can breathe again
So we can live like we lived back then
When these lakes were only puddles
And these monsters were still men
'Cause we are but saddled horses
And they bet on every race
But there's contempt bred in the stallion
For the man that calls its name
We can almost hear the choir
Echoing down streets on fire
Singing
Keep calm, restless world, this too shall pass
Are we all failures in disguise?
For the dream we brought to life
From behind our name in lights
Our shadows cast
And feet don't fail me now
There's a broken lonely town
Waiting somewhere down this empty road
And lungs please don't give out
Words I whisper, sometimes shout
And until they're heard
I'm never going home
I fell for the bait again
