Every time you raise your voice I see the greener grass
Every time you run for cover I see this pasture Every time we're in a funk I picture a different choice Anytime we're in a rut, this distant grandeur My tendency to want to do away feels natural, and My urgency to dream of softer places feels understandable, but I know The only way out is through The faster we're in the better The only way out is through ultimately The only way out is through The only way we'll feel better The only way out is through ultimately Every time that I'm confused I think there must be easier ways Every time our horns are locked I'm towel throwing Every time we're at a loss we've bolted from difficulty Anytime we're in stalemate, a final bowing My tendency to want to hide away feels easier, and The immediacy of picturing another place, comforting to go but I know The only way out is through The faster we're in the better The only way out is through ultimately The only way out is through The only way we'll feel better The only way out is through ultimately We could just walk away and hide our heads in the sand We could just call it quits only to start all over again: with somebody else Every time we're stuck in struggle I'm down for the count that day Every time I dream of quick fix I'm assuaged Now I know it's hard when it's through and I'm damned if I don't know a quick fix way What formerly was treatment, silent's now outdated My tendency to want to run feels unnatural now The urgency to want to give to you what I want most feels good and I know The only way out is through The faster we're in the better The only way out is through ultimately The only way out is through The only way we'll feel better The only way out is through ultimately |

14 years 30 minutes 15 seconds I've held this grudge
11 songs 4 full journals, thoughts of punishment I've expended not in contact not a letter such communication telepathic you've been vilified, used as fodder, you deserve a piece of every record but who's it hurting now? Who's the one that's stuck? Who's it torturing now, with an antique knot in her stomach I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old All this time i've not known how to rest this bygone I want to be soft and resolved clean of slate and released I want to forgive for the both of us Like an abandoned house dusty-covered furniture still intact If I visit it now, do I simply re-live it somehow gratuitous But who's still aching now? Who's tired of her own voice? Who's it weighing down with no gift from time of said healing I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old All this time i've not known how to rest this bygone I want to be soft and resolved clean of slate and released I want to forgive for the both of us Maybe as i cut the cord veils will lift from my eyes Maybe as i lay this to rest dead weight off my shoulders will rise Here i sit, much determined ever ill-equipped to draw this curtain How this has entertained, validated and has served me greatly ever the victim But who's done whining now? Who's ready to put down This load I've carried longer than I had cared to remember I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old For the life of me I've not known how to rest this bygone I want to be soft and resolved clean of slate and released |
