Lyrics

All for What

Someday I will dream my greatest lie
I will wake up with no shadow
I'm paralyzed
Ghosts and poltergeists
Circle 'round my bed a deadly tableau

Trains in the night sweep by, what a life
Morning sun comes laced with faces of you
Hand over hand
Where are you, my friend?
I can't make my soul try not to love you

Keep holding you up
All for what, all for what?
Cuts deeper than blood
All for what, all for what?

I will trade all this for your love
I will trade all this for your love

I can't shake this feeling
There's no way I'll let you
I let you do
With nobody that's not you that's you
Follow through

I keep holding you up
All for what, all for what?
Cuts deeper than blood
All for what, all for what?

I will take all this for your love
I will take all this for your love

I keep holding you up
Cuts deeper than blood
