Against the Wall

It's always going to be this way
Somethings will never change
The choices that we make
And the decisions that we've made
Too old to be naive
Too young to know anything
And this burden is ours
We'll be held accountable for every one of these days
Our actions could build monuments to what we achieve
But these days they bring nothing
Nothing but rain

And everything we built gets washed away
But all the promise we have, is still here

Sitting there blank stare, swallow the knot in your throat
And I hope we can stop our selfish ways
Standing here clenched fist, spitting words for you to hear
And its only one question that I have to ask

Have you beaten the path
Or has the path beaten you

Has it beaten you
Has it left you empty
Are you searching for something real
The joy and the sadness
The truth for as ugly as it appears
Like the feelings you got
When you lost someone you loved
Was it too much
And when the skies clear out
Their words meant nothing
When the storm is over
Is anybody here

I've gotta believe
I've gotta believe
I've gotta believe
I've gotta believe theres something
Something more than what's been shown
Than what's been given

But its up to us to find it
So, get it through your goddamn head
I don't care how hard you swing that hammer
Sometimes it won't make a dent
