When we were young and indifferent, we could not have known This world will chew you up and spit you out on your own I know it hurts It hurts me too, just to watch you sinking I can't help thinking Was there something holding you back? Was the weight of the world on your back So long, you're sick of the gravity? Is there someone telling you no? Do you wander with nowhere to go? What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for? I'm reaching out, please take my hand The water's 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 just like our parents taught us to be Roots planted firmly, but we fell so far from the tree And still we cling to the past with an iron grip As we all fall fast asleep Dreaming of security The chance to redefine The years we've wasted Living on borrowed time My will is spent I used the very last drop Trying to keep my head on straight enough I know it hurts It hurts to feel it all slip right past you I just want to ask you Was there something holding you back? Have you had to cover your tracks So long, you lost your identity? Is there something dragging you down? Crippled under the weight of the crown What are you waiting, oh, what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? I'm reaching out please take my hand The water's getting higher and I can't understand Why I can't pull you in Do you even care? Do you even want me there? For 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 Divide us temporarily I'm reaching out, please take my hand The water's 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 said I'm sorry, I swear I'll do better I never thought we'd have to carry this weight together This is contagion, a plague that I bear And it kills me to say that I really need you here

Can I pull you apart? And stretch your soul? Time spent in the dark Is what makes us whole I know you're scared, honey Sometimes it's dark, honey I know there's something more to say But I don't know Just step into the darkness with me (Yeah) (Uh) (Yeah) Can I show you the part I've been working on? Time pulls us apart But it makes me strong I know you're scared, honey Sometimes I'm gone, honey I know there's something you want to say Yes, I know Just step into the darkness with me (Uh) (Yeah) (Uh) (Uh) (Uh) (Yeah) (Uh) (Yeah) (Uh)

Walked a crooked road for a crooked mile Showed my crooked teeth and my crooked smile I read a cuckoo clock on a crooked wall Turns out it's all crooked, y'all And I don't know what I'm supposed to do Turns out that I'm crooked too I read a crooked headline on a crooked page There's a crooked leader on a crooked stage But he seems to think he's standin' tall Turns out it's all crooked, y'all And I don't know what I'm supposed to do Turns out that I'm crooked too So when you stand before that setting sun And the needle's broken and the record's spun You'll hear a stampede from a cattle call Turns out it's all crooked, y'all Oh, it turns out it's all crooked, y'all

I think I have a problem These blackened eyes are bloodshot Lust like a fiend, I don't feel what you feel for anyone or anything Broken but I don't need I don't need you to fix me Numb to the pain, I could drown in the rain My demon's safe kept in my grave Drunk off mistakes Addicted to the everlasting hell So I take another drink, throw up in the sink The darker that it gets, the easier I can breathe If I have a heart, why am I so cold? If you love me still, I don't feel it I always knew in the end that I'd become a crooked soul (That I'd become a crooked soul) I see a devil in myself Inflicting all the grief and doubt Feel (feel anything) Drunk off mistakes Addicted to the everlasting hell So I take another drink, throw up in the sink The darker that it gets, the easier I can breathe If I have a heart, why am I so cold? If you love me still, I don't feel it I always knew in the end that I'd become a crooked soul Don't need your help, time will tell My only concern is myself I always knew in the end that I'd become a crooked soul (Don't need your help, time will tell) I see a devil in myself I see a devil in myself Lust like a fiend, I don't feel what you feel for anyone or anything If I have a heart, why am I so cold? If you love me still, I don't feel it I always knew in the end that I'd become a crooked soul Don't need your help, time will tell My only concern is myself I always knew in the end that I'd become a crooked soul I always knew in the end that I'd become a crooked soul (Crooked soul) I see a devil in myself
