I fell for the bait again
fork in a road in one durance (?)
and upon those stones I lay out alone to find you

and a whisper like leaves in the wind
An air so pure it could wash away sin
A message like a stranger we take kind to

And the night it sings to me
as I fall asleep
each breath slower than the last
a sweet low tide recedes

we can almost hear the choir
echoing down streets on fire
singing, “Keep calm, restless world.
This too shall pass.”

Are we all failures in disguise
for the dream we brought to life
from behind our name in lights, 
our shadow’s cast
but will they last?

It’s not that I don’t believe
it’s just that I’m so afraid to bleed.
If we could just stay on the mountain path, 
over debris

so I can breathe again.
so we can live like we lived back then
when these lakes were only puddles
and these monsters were still men

‘cause we are but saddled horses
and they bet on every race
but there’s contempt bred in the stallion
for the man that calls its name

we can almost hear the choir
echoing down streets on fire
singing, “Keep calm, restless world.
This too shall pass.”

Are we all failures in disguise
for the dream we brought to life
from behind our name in lights,
our shadow’s cast

and feet don’t fail me now
there’s a broken, lonely town
waiting somewhere down this empty road
and lungs please don’t give out
words we whispered, sometimes shout
and until they’re heard, I’m never going home.

I fell for the bait again

Tim played three songs. This is the first song. I did not get the third since I thought he would play more, and I wanted to conserve battery life.
