A mother alone in an empty pew on her knees

Clutching her beads to her chest

As the light shines down upon her tears

"What of my child, and what's become of me?"

The present remains in flux all the same when the future's all we see

You can't console me, best of luck controlling me

We're on a path that leads to nowhere so

I'll take my time and maybe gain some peace of mind

The road's not as long as people told you, no

Feet on the edge, looking out across the sky

Face in his hands saying

"what kind of man would let a moment pass him by?

I've let myself down, and I've failed my family

It's all for the best," as he takes his last breath

Jumps into eternity

You can't console me, best of luck controlling me

We're on a path that leads to nowhere so

I'll take my time and maybe gain some peace of mind

The road's not as long as people told you, no

So preoccupied with plans, but what plans don't understand, oh

Is that time is so finite, you can't get everything right

It's impossible, you're not infallible, you're only human

You can't console me, best of luck controlling me

We're on a path that leads to nowhere so

I'll take my time and maybe gain some peace of mind

The road's not as long as people told you, no
