In Retrospect

Oh Oh God, it feels like I'm falling apart Oh God, it feels like I'm falling apart And I can't help but feel, I brought this on myself Now my eyes are open wide And as my pupils dilate, I see the reckoning Try to settle the scales of fight or flight I just can't balance the weight, I've reached the tipping point The sands of time beckon me to yield my faith But I keep asking myself If I'm the final piece to this puzzle Why can't I find my place? Coming 'round from a coma when I wasn't asleep Ask myself what the hell happened to the person I used to be Things have changed on the outside Why am I stuck looking in? We are the lost and insecure We are the counter to your clause Forever falling short, but not far off the mark We are the hope you left behind Make your stand, take the fall, play your part You mean more to me than you could ever know Than you could ever know Oh God, am I falling apart? Down, but not out I'll stand up for myself, hold my head in the clouds Drown in the drought My lungs are flooded with reasons that I have to doubt myself We are the lost and insecure We are the voice you can't ignore We are the sickness and the remedy Unite in unison, just have a little faith in me We are the lost and insecure We are the lost and insecure We are the counter to your clause Forever falling short, but not far off the mark We are the hope you left behind Make your stand, take the fall, play your part You mean more to me than you could ever know I'm like a fire Burning a path through water Burning a path to you You can see this through, just have a little faith in me I'm living proof that it's never too late Avoid the fork in the road, stick to the path you create And when push comes to shove and you're ready to break We can do this together because we're one and the same Now three years on, so many things have changed I guess I've been better, but I'm doing okay I still feel like winter on a warm summers day It does get easier with time, but it never goes away Now three years on, and I've grown in so many ways They sang my songs for you, they were my voice when I was afraid The beauty in your message has helped to ease so much pain It does get easier with time, but it never goes away
