Dying For

Was your life worth dying for? Did you stare down a wolf at the door Like you carried the keys of the cross And covered the cost With only your innocence lost? It won't happen again And nothing ever makes it out alive We were chasing the wind Baby, we were running out of time Our sins would be heaven sent Under the sediment Already skeletons Somewhere irrelevant Where every pontiff and prophet and poet All wind up the same way Weighing the end reward Was your life worth dying for? Did you stare down a wolf at the door Like you carried the keys of the cross And covered the cost With only your innocence Tell me young man would you say When the end was a moment away You swallowed the pain without any regret And settled your debt If nothing is permanent Was your life worth dying for? I'd face the music Be killed or kill my excuses But wasted the days in ways I didn't know Like Joni said it You're never gonna get it Until it's gone Our sins would be heaven sent Under the sediment Already skeletons Somewhere irrelevant I hope you captured The dream you were after If this ain't the rapture I'm asking you Was your life worth dying for? Did you stare down a wolf at the door Like you carried the keys of the cross And covered the cost With only your innocence Tell me young man would you say When the end was a moment away You swallowed the pain without any regret And settled your debt If nothing is permanent Was your life worth dying for?
