The Undertow

Are we born for nothing if we die alone? Only God can answer, so where's my telephone? If someone clipped the wires, you didn't pay that bill You know God loves a trier and I've got time to kill Who made that decision for you? Who made that decision for you? I told you what you swore too, like you already knew If I leave here before you, you'll see our baby through You know I always loved you, I know I'm not around But I'm only working for you 'Cause you're a cradle to the grave, I'm a slave to sound and I made that decision for us I made that decision for us What's the guilt worth if you do nothing with it? What's the guilt worth if you choose when you feel it? What's the guilt worth? Guilt worth? What's the guilt worth? Guilt worth? Oh, what's the guilt worth? If you have known my quiet blood to break the banks of this mighty river Then all you have really known is love Who made that decision for you? We're all bound by our own perspective Any lows below our own, we'll never truly know Pain lingers on by its own measure, irrespective When one man's treasure is another's final blow But hope yet may still come to those Daring to dig that deep within themselves We bare our souls on wax through tender prose Only to starve them of all-purpose When our findings hit the shelves I made that decision for us I made that decision for us What's the guilt worth, if you do nothing with it? What's the guilt worth, if you choose when you feel it? What's the guilt worth? Guilt worth? What's the guilt worth? Guilt worth? Oh, what's the guilt worth? The guilt's worth nothing But for the first time in ages I feel safe in the knowledge We're all gonna be demolished We're all bound by our own perspectives Any lows below our own we'll never truly know My head above the water I was young and I was limber I swear I saw you from the shore Before I caught the undertow And I made that decision for us
