What Happens/Sarcee Song

What happens when you're alone
But you're not alone
There are people all around
Heads buried in private sand
Always it comes back
To there's nothing anyone can hear
Words are projectiles
Random firings usually miss the mark

What happens when you know
What you're doing but you don't
Your eyes are dry as dust
While your soul drowns in tears
There's nothing anyone can do
When there's nothing anyone can do
It's your eyes your soul your tears
Your private journey

What happens when you don't know
What happens next
You've seen the scene
So many times already
Waiting for something to go away
Yet there's always something
Unseen velvet walls
Something between you and your self

What happens when you've done
What you were never gonna do again
Another waste the same old story
Spilled wines bitter taste
Holding back your heart
Some type of mistake you keep making
Knowing the weight of your life
Gets heavier not lighter

What happens when you ride it out
But the ride never ends
Always looking for the the escape
Forgetting about the chain
Tripping over your own emotions
But never breaking the chain
Paying for every taken chance
Price may be too high to make amends

What happens when you're alone
But you're not alone
What happens when you know
What you're doing but you don't
What happens when you don't know
What happens next
What happens when you've done
What you were never gonna do again
What happens when you ride it out
But the ride never ends
What happens when the inevitability of
Tomorrow arrives
It always does

Things could get better and should
And day now any day now
This sleepwalking dream
Should step from the shadows
Eventually the sun must burn through
With shining light
