For What It's Worth

Sound the alarm Let's all run for cover A million mistakes We've put on each other There's so much at stake Sisters and brothers It's been tearing apart Our love for one another I can't comprehend The truth of the matter How can we stand So deep undercover Until we command Our thoughts behind shutters Closed doors and silenced sounds are pouring out Forging on these cards we're dealt Forging on before there's nothing else I know you hurt I've seen the wreckage burn I know you hurt Like a freight train screaming through your head These fickle phrases leave us cursed Discontent This viscous encounter To make a mends How do we recover I don't want to speculate I'd rather discover What's been done is done Still I sit here and wonder Where have we been? Lost in the madness That's how it begins Hardships and sadness We try to defend emotional baggage Well here we go again Forging on these cards we're dealt Forging on before there's nothing else I know you hurt I've seen the wreckage burn I know you hurt Like a freight train screaming through your head These fickle phrases leave us cursed Value where you are Value every single scar Maybe there will come a day Where fear and hatred fade away Value where you are Value every painful scar Maybe there will come a day Where arrogance will fade away I know I'll never know what's going on inside your world And I've seen the tables turn So many times I've tried To bring myself to realize I know you hurt For what it's worth
