Torn, blown highways
Forgotten monuments far away
Trails blazed quickly
And unending in their decay
Was it clear enough to see?
Was your vision filled with lights?
Or was it too hard to breathe?

Sink my sights straight out of town
Nothing left but a voice too proud

Lowered eyes take in grains of salt you had to miss
Spiraled staircases, they didn't hold you with a kiss
Pain is confusing
It's even harder to be harder to be heard
When there's much to latch on to
And there is no standard word

To say what you have meant all this time
Not with a blow, but the force of your mind
To trap a signal without fear
And send it blazing far and near

Try too hard, it slips away
Hoist a map and slip out of the day

I can't hear it, the haunted masses of the heart
I can see it, the way we're taught to break apart
Isn't much left to say
All the words have been shifted, and our time has passed away

To see my mother break with stress
To see my father clutch his chest
To have no idea what words to say
To hope that time will soon pass away

I've had enough to not belong
Nothing left but a voice too strong

(Part 2)

Once I knew that I could be there
I could not defend myself
Trust in my own when I I'd be there
No one should defend themselves
With their Wondering Eye

Isolated from yourself
The best is yet to come
Out of touch with the invisible
You're the only one
Who tries inside to die
Indulging in the dark, we're the pacified
Expectations from other men
Hinder what we came for, known from the bend
Told by the bold, inappropriate styles
Isolated from yourself
It was worth the while

(Chorus)
Must be lying
Simplified like dying because
I've been trying to control myself
Must be lying
Simplified like dying because
I've been busy looking for myself
With my Wondering Eye

(Verse)
Big trees fall easy now
Apologies won't please me how
I came was not how I left dressed
In smirks of a different kind be best for
Expectations of other men
Hollow bodies try to pretend
They make the rules when schools are closed
But rules have been left to impose on
Once you got yourself a style
Come back out from your exile
Nights fall quicker than a one-legged kicker
So work it out now, was it worth your while?

It was worth the while

(Chorus)

(Verse)
Leave behind me
Don't stop it was worth the while
