Lyrics

Answers

[Verse 1]

Living lost has been the way

Since the day I came along

Drifting through the dead-eyed days

When every turn is wrong

[Chorus]

And I knew it was the darkest road

That I'd never know just how

To travel on to get somewhere

But I thought I'd have some answers by now

[Verse 2]

Meaning to find meaning

In the most meaningless of times

Believing I believed in something

Beyond equals in time

[Chorus]

And I opened up my heart and said

This much I'll allow

All who enter welcome in

And I thought I'd have some answers by now

[Verse 3]

Living lost is not the way

To go from here on out

Attesting in the dead-eye age

Is not all it's about

[Chorus]

And I may not have that far to go

I might make it somehow

The brightest light may shine ahead

But I thought I'd have some answers by now
