Hey, turn around, man, I'm gonna take you downtown
If you wanna grab a sack, go ahead and do it
My fear of death was set in place by a lie
A glorified youth, that's the only way of life, yeah
My teeth were shakin', slowly, surely dissipating
Yeah, the wrinkles on my face, they weren't from my old age
I try to understand you throwin' it away
All your talent down the drain, man, it just makes perfect sense
When I look you in the eyes, it takes me right back
Yeah, your future helps me move on from my dark past
Don't give in
It's not real
You don't have a choice
Choose to feel
Your words' insane, man, only if I was left-brained
I could understand all your funny logic
I was indifferent, I saw the first time
Come on back, come on back, come on back to gain your life
Yeah, man, it's hard when that loco keeps on moving
Got some money and some change just to wait for my train
I try to stop me now, I'm locked and engaged
Come on back, come on back, come on back and leave your pain
When I look you in the eyes, it takes me right back
Yeah, your future helps me move on from my dark past
Don't give in
It's not real
You don't have a choice
Choose to feel
Yeah, we found you laying in your hotel room
With your Bible tied up because you were up to no good
We started shaking you all in your bed
Doing everything we could, just hoping that you're not dead
We dragged you out and threw you into our car
Pushed the pedal to the floor and drove to the hospital yard
They brought you in and told us both to wait
I was praying to myself it's not too late
(Leave your bed of concrete)
There are consequences for your actions (living hand to mouth)
There are consequences in real life
There are consequences, you can't escape from them
There are consequences (leave your bed of concrete)
Don't hide behind your reasons
Real life is full of feeling (living hand to mouth)
Things come and go in seasons
Truth should transcend our feelings (leave your bed of concrete)
Don't hide behind your reasons
Real life is full of feeling (living hand to mouth)
Things come and go in seasons
Truth should transcend our feelings
