Crooked Path - Polaris

When we were young and indifferent we could not have known

This world will chew you up and spit you out on your own

What’s this holding you back

What’s the weight of the world on your back

So long, you sink into gravity

Is there someone telling you no

Do you want to know where to go

What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for

I’m reaching out please take my hand

The water is getting higher and I can’t understand

Why I can’t pull you in

Do you even care

Do you even want me there

We are the victims of

Instead we cling to the past with an iron grip

As we fall fast asleep

Dreaming of security

The we define

wasted

My world is dead

Trying to keep my head

I’m broke it hurts

And I’m still feeling

What’s this holding you back

Have you had to cover your tracks so long

You lost your identity

Is there something dragging you down

Crippled onto the weight of the ground

What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for

I’m reaching out please take my hand

The water is getting higher and I can’t understand

Why I can’t pull you in

Do you even care

Do you even want me there

Through all of our differences

I always said I’d be there if you should come undone

It took all I had in me

Do you even care

Do you even want me there

(Do you even want me there)

There are ghosts in every window

And they’ll follow you back home

But if you stay a moment

I can tell you all I know

Of how these times have changed us

How they bring us to our knees

How they send us down the crooked path

To fight us temporarily

I’m reaching out please take my hand

The water is getting higher and I can’t understand

Why I can’t pull you in

Do you even care

Do you even want me there

I swear I’m sorry, I swear I’ll do better

I never thought we’d have to carry this weight together

This is

And it kills me to say that I really need you here
