Album:

The Fragile

Just a reflection 
Just a glimpse 
Just a little reminder 
Of all the what abouts 
And all the might have 
Could have beens 
Another day 
Some other way 
But not another reason to continue 
And now you're one of us 
The wretched 


The hopes and prays 
The better days 
The far aways 
Forget it 


It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to 
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it? 
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to 
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it? 


Now you know 
This is what it feels like 
Now you know 
This is what it feels like 


The clouds will part and the sky cracks open 
And god himself will reach his fucking arm 
Through 
Just to push you down 
Just to hold you down 
Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss 
And it's hard to believe it could come down to this 
Back at the beginning 
Sinking 
Spinning 


And in the end 
We still pretend 
The time we spend 
Not knowing when 
You're finally free 
And you could be 


But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to 
It didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it 


Now you know 
This is what it feels like 
Now you know 
This is what it feels like 


You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming 
You can try to stop it but
